A public defender has been ordered to help Gainesville preacher Gordon Winrod and two of his children defend themselves against charges they kidnapped Winrod’s six grandchildren. Winrod had refused legal help since his arrest. But the judge hearing the case says the Winrods fail to understand the legal process. Following the Winrod’s arrest, the grandchildren barricaded themselves on the Winrod farm for four days, until Gordon Winrod convinced them to give up.
