1Opinion of the Court

Severs, Judge.

Defendant Graylin Gray, after waiving counsel and choosing to represent himself, was convicted of second degree forgery. Gray was found to be a habitual criminal under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-2221 (Reissue 1995) and was sentenced to 10 to 20 years’ imprisonment as required by the mandatory sentencing provision of the habitual criminal statute. Gray appeals the conviction, asserting eight assignments of error. Our opinion deals mainly with the extent to which a trial judge may properly become involved in the presentation of evidence against a defendant.
