People v. Miranda
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his convictions for making criminal threats and resisting arrest. Defendant argued that the trial court erred by granting his pretrial motion to represent himself and by not later reversing that order after his mental health issues became apparent during the trial. The court concluded that the record shows that defendant's waiver of the right to counsel was knowing and voluntary. Further, there was no showing that defendant was unable to perform the basic tasks needed to represent himself without the help of counsel. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
