“'The decision to substitute or to remove court-appointed counsel and to appoint new counsel for an accused rests within the sound discretion of the trial court. Boldin v. State , 585 So.2d 218 (Ala. Cr. App. 1991) ; Cox v. State , 489 So.2d 612 (Ala. Cr. App. 1985). In order to prevail on a motion for substitution of counsel, the accused must show a demonstrated conflict of interest or the existence of an irreconcilable conflict so great that it has resulted in a total lack of communication that will prevent the preparation of an adequate defense . Boldin v. State ; Cox v. State .'”
