State v. Burke
State v. Burke
Opinion of the Court
Following a jury trial in the county court, defendant was convicted of a violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-806(1) (Reissue 1979), a Class II misdemeanor, and was sentenced to probation
Although the county court offered to appoint counsel to represent defendant, he refused to accept an attorney and insisted on representing himself. The court did appoint John H. Sohl as defendant’s legal assistant, who attended all court proceedings. Mr. Sohl conscientiously discharged his duties as such assistant, and not only submitted a brief in this court on defendant’s behalf but also appeared for argument.
We have examined the record in this case and it fully supports the findings and judgments of the county and district courts.
Affirmed.
