Description
Jimmy Curtis Johnson appeals his conviction of burglary in the first degree. At about 2 or 3 a.m. on July 29, 1980, Eldred and Brenda Simpson were awakened by an intruder in their apartment bedroom. Brenda saw him going through Eldred's pants pockets. Eldred jumped from bed and struggled with the intruder, who hit Eldred several times. The struggle carried them out of the apartment and down the stairs. Eldred retreated to clothe himself, then he and a neighbor pursued the intruder while Brenda called police. Eldred found the man in the alley and cornered him, and the man threatened to kill him. Police arrived and arrested the intruder, who was identified as Jimmy Curtis Johnson. Johnson represented himself at trial. On appeal, he claims that he was deprived of his constitutional right to counsel.
