SILBERMAN, Judge.
Edward C. Fleck appeals his judgment and sentence for attempted robbery, aggravated battery, and misdemeanor battery and contends that the trial court should have allowed him to represent himself at trial. Because the trial court did not use the correct legal standard in denying Fleck his right to self-representation, we reverse and remand for a new trial.
The Sixth Amendment grants criminal defendants the right to self-representation.
