FLECK v. STATE

No. 2D06-3060.

956 So.2d 548 (2007)

Edward C. FLECK, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

May 23, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Allyn M. Giambalvo, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Susan M. Shanahan, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


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.
