• 2025 Ohio 3241

Syllabus

The trial court erred in finding appellant validly waived his right to a jury trial as to the having weapons while under disability charge. The waiver was invalid because it was not made in open court. Additionally, because the evidence was sufficient to convict appellant of having weapons while under disability, this matter must be remanded for a new trial on that charge. Judgment reversed; cause remanded.
