State v. Dat

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed Dat’s conviction for assault by a confined person. It held that Dat did not clearly and unequivocally request self-representation and that his conflicting statements supported the finding that any waiver of counsel was involuntary. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient to establish bodily injury, that the trial court acted within its discretion in quashing an untimely subpoena, and that Dat could not establish prejudice from counsel’s failure to timely serve it.
