Description

One accused of a crime has the right to counsel. See Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 345, 9 L. Ed. 2d 799, 83 S. Ct. 792 (1963); see also State v. Carrothers, 79 N.M. 347, 349, 443 P.2d 517, 519 (Ct. App. 1968). As a corollary, the accused has a right to reject counsel and to represent himself. See Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 836, 45 L. Ed. 2d 562, 95 S. Ct. 2525 (1975). In a case where a defendant wishes to represent himself, the district court must determine if the defendant is making a "knowing and intelligent" waiver of counsel and understands fully the dangers of self-representation. State v. Castillo, 110 N.M. 54, 57, 791 P.2d 808, 811 (Ct. App.), cert. denied, 110 N.M. 44, 791 P.2d 798 (1990).
