STATE v. TURNER

No. 7520SC38.

212 S.E.2d 908 (1975)

25 N.C. App. 321

STATE of North Carolina v. Otis Odell TURNER.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

April 2, 1975.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Rufus L. Edmisten, by Associate Atty. Elisha H. Bunting, Jr., Raleigh, for the State.

Smith & Thigpen, Robbins, by J. Stephen Gaydica III, for defendant appellant.


BRITT, Judge.

By his first assignment of error, defendant contends the superior court erred in not appointing counsel to represent him at his trial. We find no merit in the assignment. The record clearly discloses that defendant effectively waived counsel after being fully informed by the court that he was entitled to representation, that if he could not afford a lawyer, one would be appointed for him, and that he was subject to a prison sentence if convicted.
