Frasard v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Barnes, Judge.

Michael Frasard appeals his conviction for aggressive driving in violation of OCGA § 40-6-397 (a).1 Frasard represented himself at trial, but, following his conviction, he retained counsel who filed a motion for new trial. After the trial court denied this motion, this appeal followed. He now contends the trial court failed to investigate and establish that he knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to counsel, that the trial court erred by failing to charge the jury on justification, and that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. We disagree, and affirm.
