One member of a transgender death-obsessed cult called the “Zizians” will represent herself at trial, while other associates of the cohort have derailed criminal proceedings in a separate murder case across the country.

Zizian member Michelle Zajko, whose elderly parents were shot to death in their Pennsylvanian home on New Year’s Eve 2022, declared at a Wednesday motion hearing that she wants to fire her attorney, George McKinley, a panel public defender. Zajko was not charged with the murder of her parents.
