Madden v. State
Madden v. State
837 So. 2d 875; 2002 Ala. Crim. App. LEXIS 126; 2002 WL 1139245
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Madden v. State
Opinion of the Court
AFFIRMED BY UNPUBLISHED MEMORANDUM.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
I must respectfully dissent from the majority’s unpublished memorandum. The record in this case does not indicate that the trial court ever advised the appellant about the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, as required by Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 95 S.Ct. 2525, 45 L.Ed.2d 562 (1975). Therefore, we should reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand this case for a new trial. See Farid v. State, 720 So.2d 998 (Ala.Crim.App. 1998); Hairgrove v. State, 680 So.2d 946 (Ala.Crim.App. 1995).
