In April 2015, Alfred Postell, a bearded homeless man who carried his belongings in a white plastic bag, was charged with unlawful entry and stood before Judge Thomas Motely in the DC Superior Court. Motley asked Postell if he had a lawyer. “I am a lawyer,” Postell responded. On further questioning, it turned out that Postell also had degrees in economics and accounting. In fact, Postell had graduated from Harvard Law School in 1979 in the same class as Judge Motely and Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. This was all, of course, before Postell developed schizophrenia, was not treated, and became homeless [1].
