MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A man convicted in the death of a Milwaukee police officer wants to get rid of his attorneys. 

Jordan Fricke was found guilty on all counts in July. He's accused of shooting and killing Milwaukee Police Officer Matthew Rittner on February 6 while police served a warrant for Fricke's arrest. 

Fricke has filed a motion for his attorneys to withdraw from the case. 

He's expected to be sentenced later this month.
