Decided April 26, 2002. Rehearing Denied June 21, 2002.
Appeal from Jefferson Circuit Court (CC-00-4078), Houston L. Brown, Judge.
Harmahinder Singh Bagga, Birmingham, for appellant.
Bill Pryor, atty. gen., and Jean A. Therkelsen, asst. atty. gen., for appellee.
AFFIRMED BY UNPUBLISHED MEMORANDUM.
McMILLAN, P.J., and COBB and WISE, JJ., concur. BASCHAB, J., dissents, with opinion.
I must respectfully dissent. The record in this case does not indicate that the trial court ever advised the appellant about the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, as required by Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 95 S.Ct. 2525, 45 L.Ed.2d 562 (1975), and did not advise him that he had the right to withdraw any waiver of the right to counsel at any time during the proceedings, as required by Rule 6.1(b), Ala.R.Crim.P. Therefore, we should reverse the trial court's judgment and remand this case for a new trial. See Farid v. State, 720 So.2d 998 (Ala.Crim.App. 1998); Hairgrove v. State, 680 So.2d 946 (Ala.Crim.App. 1995), cert. denied, 680 So.2d 947 (Ala. 1996).
