The 49-year old Amsel wants a lawyer but still hasn’t found one to represent him and is now looking out of province.
Parkes says that shouldn’t be necessary.
“Winnipeg’s still a big city with many many lawyers. He should be able to find a lawyer here.”

Respected legal scholars disagree with Professor Parkes and advise that it would be career suicide for a Manitoba lawyer to properly defend Guido Amsel before a jury.
The lawyer would be forced to argue that even if Guido Amsel did place bombs in the mail it was justifiable self defence where a corrupt and out of control legal profession working in tandem with a vindictive vengeful ex wife refused reasonable settlement offers, ruined his life for the past 15 years and were determined to take his every last penny.
A jury of private citizens, as opposed to a government paid judge who is a former lawyer, who have first hand experience with the Manitoba legal profession or who have friends and relatives who were victims of the same legal profession may very well acquit Guido Amsel on the basis that his actions will teach the legal profession to clean up its act and stop preying on the local community.
A prominent high profile defense lawyer Jay Prober said , “it was an attack on the justice system, I would certainly advocate his right to have a lawyer, but not me.”
Our reporter on the ground in Winnipeg advise that many local defence lawyers feel exactly the same way as Jay Prober.
