Martinez rejected her court appointed attorney and as Judge Thorpe listed the charges she faces, Martinez smiled, shook her head ‘no’ and wagged her finger at him. The defendant was sporting visible abrasions and cuts on her hand and wrist

A fifth child, Diana Romero, was also stabbed, but was in stable condition at a children’s hopsital in Atlanta. According to a GoFundMe page set up to help pay for funerals and medical costs, Diana has gone through surgery and will likely remain in the hospital for a few weeks before starting physical therapy.
Martinez was all smiles during her Friday court appearance, often grinning directly into cameras. At one point she stood up and offered a sweeping bow before sitting back down and offering a thumbs-up to reporters.

Gwinnett County Magistrate Judge Michael Thorpe admonished her to “cut out the display for the cameras. It’s really not a good idea. It’s not really to your benefit.”
Martinez also rejected a court-appointed attorney, despite qualifying for one, CNN reported.
“My attorneys are always going to be the people and my faith,” she said in Spanish through an interpreter. “Those are my attorneys, that’s why I’m here.”

The judge recommended she accept legal counsel, but couldn’t force her to do so, according to the news station.
“I’m representing the people that’s humble, that’s hardworking, the people that suffer the people that have a lot of charges so that they understand everything is possible through God,” she said.
As she left the courthouse, Thorpe could be heard muttering: “Wasn’t that delightful?”
Police said Martinez had been cooperative with investigators, though they have not yet revealed a possible motive in the deadly attack.
“This is a horrendous crime, not only for the victims but for the extended family, neighborhood and community,” police said in a statement. “We are hoping and praying that the remaining victim survives.”
