If you are going to trial, you cannot excuse the judge. It is too late. If you are convicted, you have the right to appeal. You must file a written notice of appeal within 10 days of your conviction. You have the right to be released on bond while your appeal is pending. Not having a lawyer will probably mean you will run afoul of the rules governing proceedings such as you describe, as they are technical and tricky. Break a rule, lose the case. Good luck.
