A Waukegan man facing 60 years in prison in a murder case was warned by a Lake County judge that it would not be in his best interests to represent himself in his upcoming trial. Lake County Judge John Phillips told Zervont Thomas, now 20, that he will give Thomas a week to think about the decision to represent himself in his August 2011 case.
