Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Robert L. Bogen, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Upon review and due consideration we are of the opinion that the record on appeal does not adequately reflect that defendant was made fully aware of his constitutional right to be represented by counsel nor does the record adequately reflect a knowing and intelligent waiver of such right. In re Gault, 387 U.S. 1, 87 S.Ct. 1428, 18 L.Ed.2d 527 (1967); Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 58 S.Ct. 1019, 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938); Faretta v.
