Motor Vehicles — OWI – right to counsel

Traci L. Scott appeals from a judgment of conviction, finding her guilty of third offense operating while intoxicated (OWI). Scott made a collateral attack on this conviction, arguing that she did not make a valid waiver of her right to counsel at her 1999 conviction for second offense OWI, for which a transcript was never produced. The circuit court found that the State proved by clear and convincing evidence that Scott knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived her right to counsel in that 1999 proceeding. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
