Thanos v. Stategreen

2014The Court explained first that “an ambiguity in an on-the-record colloquy between the defendant and his counsel concerning the right to testify will not necessarily undermine a knowing and intelligent waiver of that right[.]” Id. at 91, 622 A.2d at 733 .

2003The intermediate appellate court, relying on Thanos v. State, 330 Md. 77, 85 , 622 A.2d 727, 730 (1993), held that, although Gregg had engaged in certain "strange" behavior, the record supported the conclusion that he (1) understood the proceedings to which he was a party and (2) was able to assert "his rights as they arose throughout the proceedings." The court further concluded that Gregg was competent to, and did, affect a knowing and intelligent waiver of his right to counsel.
