Former Suffolk County Legislator George O. Guldi insisted last week on representing himself in an upcoming trial—a decision that went against a judge’s advice and comes after he unsuccessfully attempted to defend himself during a separate trial this winter.
Mr. Guldi, a disbarred attorney from Westhampton Beach who was a Suffolk County legislator for 10 years, began serving a four-to-12-year sentence for grand larceny and insurance fraud in March and is now facing additional grand larceny charges for his alleged involvement in an $82 million mortgage fraud ring that targeted homes on the East End. The court will begin jury selection for trial for Mr. Guldi and a co-defendant, Dix Hills attorney Brandon Lisi, on June 21 with the trial beginning July 11.
