Commissioner Sally Hoelzel asked."No, I requested time to find my own attorney," Olson said."And how's that going?" Hoelzel asked."I need more time, please, at least 90 days," Olson said."Are you telling me you do not wish to be evaluated by the public defender's office?Or do you want them to evaluate you anyway?" Hoelzel asked."No, I prefer not.I don't want to be railroaded," Olson said.The commissioner gave Olson 60 days to find an attorney.Top Headlines - Milwaukee father and veteran shot, killed over noise complaint, family says - Menomonee Falls police chase ends in crash, paralyzing two passengers - Wisconsin reports first mpox cases of 2026 WATCH Body camera footage shows police arrest Wauwatosa's suspected mail thief
