Bums is here to step in if need be.” Id., at 29. The Commonwealth agrees with the PCRA court that Appellant’s actions and assertions demonstrated that he elected to proceed pro se and that his election was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. It maintains that the PCRA court’s finding of waiver is correct, even absent a formal colloquy, because Appellant’s violent behavior prevented the Court from conducting an official inquiry on the record. The Commonwealth contends, alternatively, that Appellant’s brutal actions of attacking Attorney Burns in the courtroom should be deemed a forfeiture of his right to counsel, which requires no formal colloquy to determine if the relinquishment of the right is knowing and voluntary. See Commonwealth v. Coleman, 905 A.2d 1003, 1008 (Pa.Super.2006) (<HOLDING>); Commonwealth v. Thomas, 879 A.2d 246, 257
holding that the defendant played games with the court system to such an extent that she forfeited her right to counsel thereby rendering unnecessary the colloquy required for a waiver of counsel recognizing that the sixth amendment guarantees a defendant the right to counsel and the right to waive counsel holding that in determining whether there exists a valid waiver of the right to counsel in the criminal setting the court may consider a defendants lack of good faith in working with appointed counsel including an unreasonable refusal to cooperate with counsel or an unreasonable request for substitution of appointed counsel and the timeliness of defendants request for new counsel particularly when a defendant makes an untimely request for new counsel  under circumstances which are likely to result in a continuance holding that even though the state court did engage in a colloquy with the petitioner that colloquy was insufficient to establish that the waiver was knowing and voluntary because the state court had refused to permit petitioners counsel to ask him questions that would probe the waivers validity recognizing that a criminal defendants right to counsel is the right to the effective assistance of counsel
