OPINION
COOPER, Justice.
The respondent, James Lee Coleman, was convicted of kidnapping a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Agent, Thomas J. Blackwell, and was sentenced to serve not less than two nor more than ten years in the penitentiary. The Court of Criminal Appeals, with one judge dissenting, reversed the conviction on the ground there was nothing in the record to show that respondent had knowingly and intelligently waived his right to counsel. Certiorari to review the holding of the Court of Criminal Appeals was granted on petition by the State of Tennessee.
