Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Record does not establish that court's admonishments infringed on Defendant's right to self-representation, as Defendant chose to proceed pro se despite the admonishments, and later chose to retain counsel.(LYTTON and McDADE, concurring.)
