Description
This appeal, taken from a conviction of attempted first degree murder, presents two issues for review and resolution. The first claim of error is that statements obtained during custodial interrogation should have been suppressed because of the refusal to furnish counsel to the accused upon request. The second claim of error is that the trial court improperly denied requested instructions on the defendants theory of the case which was self-defense. We hold that the trial court correctly concluded that there had been a valid waiver of the right to counsel prior to the inculpatory statements, and the evidence submitted does not support the claimed theory of self-defense. The judgment and sentence is affirmed.
