1. “)> “Appellant does not claim that he did not instruct his counsel to admit the prior conviction on his behalf. He simply contends that Rule 180 required the trial judge to ask him personally whether or not he was previously convicted. We do not read the rule so narrowly. It is commonplace for an accused to speak and act through his attorney. The attorney-client relationship- has been described as one of agency and the general laws of agency apply. Hensley v. United States, 108 U.S.App.D.C. 242 , 281 F.2d 605 (1960). When an accused is present in a courtroom, the trial judge is entitled to rely on, and the accused is bound by, the actions and concessions of his attorney. State v. Jelks, 105 Ariz. 175 , 461 P.2d 473 (1969).” ( 485 P.2d at p. 825 ).”
