Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant-appellant's substitute-counsel or self-representation requests. The trial court did not err by removing defendant-appellant from the courtroom during a portion of his trial. The trial court did not err by admitting evidence of defendant-appellant's prior domestic-violence conviction under Evid.R. 404(B). The trial court did not abuse its discretion by calling the victim as its witness. The State's cross-examination of the victim was not a subterfuge to get inadmissible evidence before the jury because that evidence was admissible as impeachment evidence.
