Hills v. State
Facts:
Defendant was
convicted in the Circuit Court for Baltimore (Maryland) of driving a motor
vehicle with a revoked license, driving without a license, and speeding. He was
sentenced as a subsequent offender to three years in prison for driving on a
revoked license, which was subsequently reduced to two years. He appealed. The
Defendant had previously been imposed with traffic ticket for exceeding posted
speed limit.

Holdings:
The Maryland Court made the
following holding:
- A defendant's right to
counsel in a criminal case is guaranteed by U.S. Const. amend. VI, made
applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, and Md. Const.
Decl. Rights art. 21. The constitutional right to self-representation is
the corollary of the constitutional right to counsel.
- When an accused manages his own defense, he relinquishes many of the traditional benefits associated with the right to counsel. Therefore, for a defendant's waiver of counsel to be effective, the accused must "knowingly and intelligently" forgo those relinquished benefits. Among other things, a defendant choosing self-representation should be made aware of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, so that the record will establish that he knows what he is doing and his choice is made with eyes open. Moreover, acquiescence in the loss of such a right is never presumed.
