Supreme Court of South Carolina

Robert Osbey, Petitioner v. State of South Carolina, Respondent.

March 6, 2019825 S.E.2d 48

Summary

The Court reversed the denial of Osbey's post‑conviction relief claim, holding that the record did not show a knowing and intelligent waiver of his right to counsel because the plea court failed to warn him of the dangers of self‑representation. The case was remanded to the court of general sessions for a new trial.
