Marc Benayer is 81 years old and being convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend's boss. Benayer, who acted as his own lawyer, had claimed the shooting was an accident. Investigators say Benayer wanted Samuels and his business partner, Mark Levy, dead because they helped Benayer's ex-girlfriend get a restraining order against him. He died in July 2006. During his sentencing hearing, he claimed that Samuels' death was due to a surgical mistake, not the shooting. Marc Benayer was convicted of first-degree murder last week in the shooting death of Jonathan Samuels. Samuels was shot in October 2005 as he left Chad Weltman Synagogue near Boca Raton after a Rosh Hashana service. While in jail, Benayer also was charged with trying to hire an undercover detective to kill Levy and his former defense attorney.

The old man should never have been allowed to represent himself. What a shame that our court system would let this happen. The man is on the verge of Alzheimer's Disease and that prosecutor made him out to be this super-evil mastermind that plotted the whole thing from the beginning to the end to represent himself the whole time. The judge erred in letting him represent himself. Wow, the whole thing is crazy--esp. Marc Benayer!
