CHAPTER 8

EXAMINATION OF CASE AND DISCHARGE OR COMMITMENT OF ACCUSED

19-857. Waiver of counsel -- Consideration by court. A person who has been appropriately informed of his right to counsel may waive in writing, or by other record, any right provided by this act, if the court concerned, at the time of or after waiver, finds of record that he has acted with full awareness of his rights and of the consequences of a waiver and if the waiver is otherwise according to law. The court shall consider such factors as the person’s age, education, and familiarity with the English language and the complexity of the crime involved.
