• concluding that the defendant did not understand the benefits of having counsel at sentencing following a bench trial when his previous experience with an attorney was at sentencing following a plea deal with the state
• explaining that a prima facie error exists when the trial court did not mention the risks of self-representation or put any facts on the record indicating the defen- dant understood the risks
• not obtaining a valid waiver from a defendant who proceeds without counsel “is not harmless if, on review, we are unable to determine what the outcome would have been if the defendant had been represented by counsel” (internal quotation marks omitted)
