John Craig Manning appeals following his conviction on four counts of burglary and one count of vandalism to a place of worship. He asserts that the trial court erred in failing to adequately ascertain that his waiver of the right to counsel was knowing and voluntary and also erred in denying his request that his court-appointed lawyer assist him at trial while he represented himself pro se. Manning had a constitutional right to counsel at trial, subject only to a knowing and voluntary waiver of that right. Raines v. State , 242 Ga. App. 727, 728 1 531 SE2d 158 2000. The waiver of the right to counsel “is valid only if it is made with an understanding of 1 the nature of the charges, 2 any statutory lesser included offenses, 3 the range of allowable punishments for the charges, 4 possible defenses to the charges, 5 circumstances in mitigation thereof, and 6 all other facts essential to a broad understanding of the matter.” Citation omitted. Middleton v. State , 254 Ga. App. 648 1 563 SE2d 543 2002. The state has the burden of demonstrating that the defendant received “sufficient information and guidance from the trial court” to make a knowing and intelligent waiver. Hamilton v. State , 233 Ga. App. 463, 467 1 b 504 SE2d 236 1998. But is not necessary for the trial court to review each of these factors with the defendant. “The record need only reflect that the accused was made aware of the dangers of self-representation and nevertheless made a knowing and intelligent waiver.” Citations and punctuation omitted. Jones v. State , 272 Ga. 884, 886 2 536 SE2d 511 2000.

That determination of whether the defendant’s waiver was knowing and voluntary depends upon the particular facts and circumstances in each case, including the defendant’s background, experience, and conduct. Coppolla v. State , 238 Ga. App. 567, 573 2 519 SE2d 494 1999. And the trial judge “must investigate as long and as thoroughly as the circumstances of the case before him demand” in order to make that determination. Citation omitted. Middleton , 254 Ga. App. at 648.
