278 Ga. 150

LAMAR v. The STATE.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

June 28, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael Mears, Holly L. Geerdes, for appellant.

J. David McDade, Dist. Atty., Christopher R. Johnson, Asst. Dist. Atty., Thurbert E. Baker, Atty. Gen., Karen A. Johnson, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Thomas H. Dunn, Georgia Resource Center, Richard A. Malone, Prosecuting Atty's Office, other party representation.

HUNSTEIN, Justice.

A jury convicted Cedric Treymaine Lamar of murder and related crimes in connection with the May 26, 1998 shooting death of Amir Gillani; the jury fixed Lamar's sentence for the murder conviction at death. Because we find that Lamar was denied his constitutional right to self-representation, we reverse Lamar's convictions and sentences. The State is authorized to retry Lamar and to again seek the death penalty.
