RODOWSKY, Judge,
concurring:
I join in the judgment of the Court for the reasons set forth in Part III.B.4 of the Court’s opinion, namely, “that all of Johnson’s pre-trial circuit court appearances—rather than advising him of the possibility of waiver of counsel by inaction— instead may have led him to believe that, if he were unrepresented during later court appearances, he would not have to stand trial without counsel.” Johnson v. State, 355 Md. 420, 458, 735 A.2d 1003, 1024 (1999).
Judge RAKER has authorized me to state that she joins in the views expressed herein.
