Court of Appeals of Washington July 16, 2012, Nos. 63241-8-I; 63709-6-I (State v. Thompson)

Ellington, J.

¶1 In three separate, notorious trials, Curtis Thompson was convicted of numerous charges stemming from a series of violent crimes in 2004. He contends his convictions should be reversed because the court refused his requests for substitute counsel or pro se status, thus violating his constitutional rights to conflict-free counsel and self-representation.
