Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that defendant’s refusal to answer when trial court explicitly asked if he wanted to fire his counsel and defendant’s additional expressions of dissatisfaction with his attorney did not constitute an unequivocal assertion to represent himself
• \[S]tatements that amount to nothing more than expressions of dissatisfaction with current counsel do not trigger any requirement that the court hold a hearing under Faretta or that the defendant be allowed to proceed pro se.\
• an unequivocal assertion of the right to represent oneself, made prior to trial, \should be followed by a hearing to ensure that the defendant knowingly and intelligently waives the right to counsel and understands the disadvantages of self-representation.\
