People v. Moore

Defendant was convicted of driving on a revoked license. Court did not refuse to appoint counsel, because Defendant did not persist in his desire for appointed counsel. Defendant had initially expressed a desire to hire counsel and subsequently reasserted that desire. He was not deprived of his constitutional right to counsel because private counsel represented him through the remainder of the pretrial, trial, and sentencing proceedings. Defendant's request for appointed counsel during a single early hearing did not necessitate an immediate indigency hearing. (SCHMIDT and WRIGHT, concurring.)
