I don't know the details of this case but if he didn't request the council until after the trial then it seems to me like he was just using it as a stalling tactic for the execution. A lot of these death row guys have anti-death penalty activists who approach them and try to help them slow down the process as much as possible. The murders/rapists get to live a little longer and the activists are hoping to catch the prison, state, etc.. doing something wrong so they can beat them over the head with it as fodder in the debate.
