“Although the right to counsel and the right to self-representation are constitutionally protected, the right to participate as co-counsel or have hybrid representation is not. The trial court has broad discretion to deny hybrid representation or co-counsel status. Annas [v. State], 726 P.2d [552,] 557 [(Alaska App.1986)]; Cano v. Anchorage, 627 P.2d 660, 664 (Alaska App.1981).”
