Issues: (1) Whether a defendant’s otherwise clear invocation of his right to represent himself becomes equivocal when he prefers representation by an attorney who cannot or will not represent him; and (2) whether courts may override a defendant’s right to represent himself in a high-penalty case out of fear that he will be unable to represent himself well.
