Monica Justice represented herself in Franklin County Common Pleas Court during a trial before a jury that found her guilty of assaulting deputies.
The shooting on the morning of July 21, 2020, and the subsequent six-plus-hour standoff came after a weekslong effort to evict Justice from a home on Beulah Road. The property owner secured the probate order.
Justice represented herself in court and claimed during the two-week trial that she was defending herself since she did not know the men who breached her door were Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies. While cross-examining deputies on the stand at whom she shot, Justice asked why they assumed she was a sovereign citizen, which she says she is not, and why they didn’t use non-lethal sponge bullets after she shot at them. Deputies shot back at Justice, hitting her in the wrist.of assault in 2014 after prosecutors said she attacked a Columbus police officer as he tried to arrest her on a warrant for a traffic offense.
According to testimony during last week’s trial, Monica Justice told the judge in 2014 her name was Lotus Justice and that she did not recognize the court’s authority over her — an idea frequently espoused by a sovereign citizen.
