People v. Rohlfs

Following a jury trial, defendant Daniel Lee Rohlfs was convicted of Class 3 felony theft by deception (720 ILCS 5/16 — 1(a)(2) (West 2002)). Defendant appeals, contending that the trial court erred in (1) denying his pretrial request to proceed pro se; (2) allowing the State to introduce at trial an evidence deposition taken outside defendant’s personal presence; (3) admitting evidence of readouts of two caller ID devices; and (4) failing to conduct an inquiry into defendant’s pro se posttrial claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. We remand for further proceedings.
