Floyd was convicted by a jury of unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, resisting arrest, and first-degree burglary. On appeal, Floyd argued the trial court violated his due process rights by allowing him to represent himself without a proper Faretta hearing and by refusing a self-defense instruction. The appellate court reversed Floyd's convictions and sentences, agreeing with the State's concession that the trial court erred by failing to conduct the requisite Faretta hearing to ensure a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary waiver of counsel. The case was remanded for a new trial.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=181815","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-johnny-d-floyd-d83890","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
