Description
On Certiorari to the Utah Court of Appeals ORDER PER CURIAM: The issue before us on this petition for certiorari to the Utah Court of Appeals is whether defendant was denied the right
to self-representation at his trial for the crime of rape. The opinion of the court of appeals can be found in State v. Bakalov,
849 P.2d 629 (Utah Ct. App. 1993). Judge Jackson found no error and would have affirmed the conviction. Judge Orme would have
remanded the case to allow the trial court to enter findings, post hoc, on whether defendant knowingly and intelligently waived
his right to assistance of counsel. Judge Greenwood, writing the lead opinion, would have reversed and remanded the case for
a new trial but reluctantly joined Judge Orme because she considered his choice more palatable than the affirmance favored
by Judge Jackson. We conclude that Judge Greenwood's ruling to reverse and remand for a new trial was legally correct. By
this order, we grant defendant's petition for certiorari but require no further briefing by the parties.
