Not a good idea. You wouldn't have a good grasp of the arguments that could be applied and the prior case law that could be called upon. And the court might not allow you to represent yourself in this situation.

This is a question for your lawyer.
When an inmate writes a petition for a petition of habeas corpus and the judge calls him back to court he stands before the judge and is questioned by the prosecutor, he frequently becomes totally confused.

This third degree without a lawyer is the worst part of the system.
When you say a statement that includes evidence, your lawyer will then present the evidence to the jury.
