How this document has been cited

On habeas corpus where the judgment and sentence of a circuit court are returned as the cause for the detention of the petitioner, the only matter that can be inquired into is the jurisdiction of the said circuit court to render the judgment and impose the sentence that was imposed.
- in Tadlock v. State, 1963 and 9 similar citations
—the defendant' s right to represent himself was often the predicate for upholding the waiver of an important right.
Appellant's argument in the court below and here that court appointed counsel representing him upon the trial was "inadequate," raises no jurisdictional question.
- in Argo v. State, 1961 and one similar citation
In brief, petitioner asserts that the refusal of a continuance under the circumstances was a violation of his constitutional rights of due process and equal protection under the law.[1] There is nothing in the record before us which tends to show that the prisoner requested or was refused a continuance because of the absence of counsel.
Many of the cases cited by Faretta contain no more than a passing reference to a right of self-representation on the way to a holding that a defendant' s waiver of counsel was valid.
