United States v. Coppola
257 F. App'x 1
Opinions
MEMORANDUM
Joseph Coppola’s Faretta waiver was invalid because the court failed to ensure that he understood the possible penalties he faced at the time of the waiver. See United States v. Erskine, 355 F.3d 1161, 1167 (9th Cir.2004).
This court therefore REVERSES and REMANDS for a new trial.
