I must respectfully dissent from the majority's unpublished memorandum. The record in this case does not indicate that the trial court ever advised the appellant about the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, as required by Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806,95 S.Ct. 2525, 45 L.Ed.2d 562 (1975). Therefore, we should reverse the trial court's judgment and remand this case for a new trial. See Faridv. State, 720 So.2d 998 (Ala.Crim.App. 1998); Hairgrove v. State,680 So.2d 946 (Ala.Crim.App. 1995).
