People v. Charles
People v. Charles
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was charged with carrying a concealed weapon in violation of MCLA
This appeal raises the question as to whether the judge should have accepted the guilty plea since defendant had previously asked for the appointment of counsel. The people move to affirm the conviction.
“The transcript discloses that the information charged appellant with (carrying a concealed weapon); that the information was read to defendant; that his right to counsel and his right to a jury trial were fully explained; that defendant unequivocally stated he did not wish to have a lawyer represent him, that he did not wish to have a jury trial, and that he wanted to plead guilty.” People v. Stearns (1968), 380 Mich 704, 717.
We find no miscarriage of justice in this case. The question sought to be reviewed is so unsubstantial as to require no argument or formal submission.
Motion to affirm is granted.
