SentinelPITTSBURGH - A woman charged in a bizarre bank robbery scheme that killed a pizza deliveryman with a bomb locked onto his neck is now listed in court records as her own attorney, but her court-appointed lawyer believes she is mentally ill.
Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, 58, is awaiting trial on charges stemming from the August 2003 robbery plot. The deliveryman, Brian Wells, told police he had been forced at gunpoint to wear a time bomb around his neck and rob the bank. The device exploded as police waited for a bomb squad to arrive.
Diehl-Armstrong and her federal public defender, Thomas Patton, have been sparring since she filed a handwritten motion two weeks ago asking to have Patton replaced. She called Patton "incompetent," and said she needed a new attorney because he lacks "fire in the belly" and charisma.
Patton on Friday said he did not know why Armstrong is now listed in court records as representing herself, but he declined to comment further on the case.
