P. v. Faultry
Defendant was convicted following a jury trial of two counts of first degree robbery (Pen. Code, 212.5, subd. (a)),[1] three counts of second degree robbery ( 212.5, subd. (c)), and assault with a firearm ( 245, subd. (a)(2)), with associated enhancements for personal use of a firearm ( 12022.53, subd. (b)), personal discharge of a firearm ( 12022.53, subds. (c), (e)(1)), and personal use of a revolver ( 12022.5, subd. (a)(1)), in the commission of the offenses. In this appeal he argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion to represent himself at trial, and claims that the jury committed misconduct by conducting an experiment with physical evidence offered at trial. Court conclude that the trial court, on this record, improperly denied defendants timely Faretta motion, and therefore must reverse the judgment.
