Besides, regimes like this don't rule by law. They rule by intimidation and bullying.

That is true. Based on a Frontline I saw about the Felon, everyone who knew/knows him says he is a bully. Even in military school, he was a bully. Why would we expect any difference in his governance.

But I don't think the defendant would need counsel. He could just request a bench judgment (or something like that) where the judge rules instantly without an actual trial because the charge is unlawful (e.g. no jurisdiction). That's like 5 minutes in court.
