    The Supreme Court also stated in Holloway that defense attorneys have the obligation to advise the court at once upon discovering a conflict of interest. See id.; see also Eveland v. State, 54 Ark. App. 393, 929 S.W.2d 165 (1996). Pursuant to Holloway, supra, the trial court has a duty, when an objection at trial brings a potential conflict of interests to light, to either appoint different counsel or to take adequate steps to ascertain whether the risk of a conflict of interests was too remote to warrant different counsel.
