v.

Case Type
CRIMINAL APPEAL : SEXUAL OFFENSE

Case No. 2018-CR-01092
Northeast Central Judicial District, Grand Forks County
John A. Thelen
2020 ND 261952 N.W.2d 233

Highlight

A defendant cannot successfully argue their waiver of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel was not voluntary, knowing, and intelligent when the record demonstrates the defendant’s clear desire to represent himself despite an understanding of the risks therein. To challenge a conviction based on the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, a defendant must move for a judgment of acquittal under N.D.R.Crim.P. 29 at trial. This Court may not consider whether a district court obviously erred if an appellant fails to argue obvious error on appeal.
