Syllabus

Appellant's claim that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to try and convict him of rape because he did not waive his right to a jury trial in open court lacks merit. Contrary to appellant's claim otherwise, appellant appeared in court and waived his right to a jury trial on the record. In addition, appellant's conviction for rape was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
