Does anyone have any theories on what could be happening? They’re too afraid to face the consequences of stating the reason they have to forgo legal representation? Huh???

The court has decided not to tell the jury that the trial for the accusation of burglary will result in terrorism sentences if they are found guilty; the defendants have been told they are not allowed to state their motivation of preventing the production of weapons that were to be used in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and the press was gagged from reporting on it.
In other words, it was going to look to the jury like it was purely a burglary, but the defendants were going to be sentenced for a different, much more serious crime, and no-one was allowed to talk about it. This is because in the previous trials, most of the defendants were acquitted by the jury, because the defendants used the crime of conscience defence.
