Syllabus

Waiver of jury trial firearm specifications ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court did not err when it accepted the appellant's jury trial waiver because the waiver was executed in open court, signed, and the appellant was represented by counsel. The trial court did not err when it sentenced the appellant on firearm specifications because the trial court has the authority to sentence and made the necessary findings. The appellant was not rendered ineffective assistance of counsel for counsel's failure to object to the trial court's imposition of a prison sentence on the firearm specifications, because the trial court has the authority to sentence the appellant on firearm specifications.
