God will not likely be representing John Jonchuck Jr., a judge told the 25-year-old father when he appeared in court Thursday on a charge that he killed his 5-year-old daughter by throwing her off of a St. Petersburg, Florida, bridge.
During the video hearing, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Michael Andrews asked the handcuffed Jonchuk if he was able to hire his own lawyer.
“No,” Jonchuk replied.
Would he like one appointed?

Jonchuck is being held at the Pinellas County Jail. Police have not disclosed a motive.
