Ala. Code 1975.
Harassment is a Class C misdemeanor.
Benson did not receive actual jail time in sentencing. Benson argues that the trial court committed reversible error when it failed to inquire sua sponte into his indigency status and to appoint a lawyer to represent him before allowing him to enter a plea of guilty. The record reflects that Benson was originally represented by retained counsel, but before trial, the trial court granted that lawyer's motion to withdraw. The lawyer withdrew from the case because Benson had failed to pay him an agreed upon retainer. Benson appeared pro se at his trial hearing, having agreed to accept a plea agreement offer made by the prosecutor.
