Syllabus

Trial court did not err by revoking defendant's right to self-representation where the record demonstrated defendant engaged in a pattern of disruptive tactics that appear to have been intended to delay or derail the trial process. Trial court also did not err by holding second day of trial in defendant's absence despite defendant claiming to be too ill to attend court where the defendant had previously feigned a medical issue to delay prior trial date.
