Syllabus

JURISDICTION – CRIM.R. 23 – JURY DEMAND – R.C. 2907.06 – MANIFEST WEIGHT: Where defendant orally and in a written motion represented to the court that he wanted a jury trial and the trial court's entries honored this representation, the trial court properly tried defendant's case to a jury. Where the victim's testimony that defendant touched her inappropriately was corroborated by officer testimony and defendant had contradictory narratives as to what transpired between him and the victim, defendant's conviction for sexual imposition was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
