The "pro se litigant" system allows citizens to have their cases heard by a Federal judge without a need to have a lawyer. A Cameroon woman will be using the system to try to get her husband back.
Mary Nabila Muma did not know where to turn. She believed a woman was using voodoo to steal her husband and ruin her life...
Over the past several years, Muma has spent thousands of dollars on her wandering ex-husband. She said he claims not to know her now because he is under the love spell of another woman. Muma, a devoutly religious woman, said she prayed for an answer. God told her to seek justice in court...
What, exactly, can a judge do in her case? For starters, she said, the judge could deport the other woman to Cameroon. Then the judge could put her ex-husband in jail. "I am ready for him to go to jail," Muma said. "Then this girl will stop the voodoo and he can come back to normal."
Reportedly about 10% of the federal caseload consists of such "pro se" cases brought by individuals. She will not be using a lawyer:
"I have a lawyer," she said, pointing upwards. "My lawyer is Jesus, without a doubt."
