PETERS, C. J.
The principal issue in this appeal is whether the trial court erred in allowing self-representation by a defendant who adamantly sought to exercise this constitutional right. A jury found the defendant, Lawrence Townsend, guilty of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a. He appeals to this court from the judgment thereafter rendered by the trial court sentencing him to life imprisonment. We find no error.
