What did the court decide in Godinez v. Moran?
Answered for: US
the competence that is required of a defendant seeking to waive his right to counsel is the competence to waive the right, not the competence to represent himself
The Court held that the competency standard for waiving counsel is the same as the standard for standing trial, and is not a measure of legal skill.
This answer is true in US and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for US.
