Deleon v. State

In my judgment, the record fails to establish a cognizable basis for the denial of the defendant’s request to conduct his own defense. Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 95 S.Ct. 2525, 45 L.Ed.2d 562 (1975); Kimble v. State, 429 So.2d 1369 (Fla.3d DCA 1983). Accordingly, I would reverse the judgment below.
