Indiana Supreme Court July 30, 1982, 181S7 (Dixon v. State)

HUNTER, Justice,

dissenting.

I must respectfully dissent from the majority opinion. For the reasons enunciated in Justice Prentice’s dissenting opinion, as well as the dissenting opinions in Russell v. State, (1978) Ind., 383 N.E.2d 309, the trial court erred in failing to hold a hearing on defendant’s request to represent himself at trial.
