Summary

Doc. 18-2 in United States v. David T. Hines, No. 1:21-cr-20011-DPG, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, entered on the docket October 6, 2020, is a one-page email chain attached to a motion. In the top message, dated September 21, 2020, prosecutor Michael Berger forwards to defense counsel D'Arsey Houlihan several emails he states he believes came from her client, and asks that the client not contact him directly because he is represented. The forwarded messages, sent the same evening under the name David Hines, ask the prosecutor for mercy, ask to be let off house arrest until sentencing, and ask him to communicate directly rather than through the public defender's office.

D’Arsey –
 
I just got these emails that I believe are from your client – David Hines.   Since he’s represented,
could you ask him not to reach out directly to me? 
 
Separately, we would like to schedule Dr. Silverman’s evaluation this week.  Is there a good time we
could arrange for him to meet with your client?
 
Thanks,

I will plead guilty to everything. Please just let me off house arrest until my sentencing.
Please. Forget about the public defenders office. Just communicate with me directly. I'm a
person for God's sake. Where is the humanity
