“[T]he defendant was advised of his right to counsel at his initial appearance . . . and was advised of his right to request appointed counsel at his arraignment .... Defendant chose to appear without counsel on repeated occasions. We hold that once a defendant has been informed of his right to retained or appointed counsel,... his conduct in appearing without counsel may result in a waiver of counsel. The course of conduct defendant chose to follow in this case operated as a waiver of counsel.”
