En Banc.


PITTMAN, Justice, for the Court:

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Richard Chunn was sentenced to imprisonment for possession of cocaine on a record that fails to indicate that he pled guilty or received a trial on the merits before a jury, a record that leads this Court to conclude further that he did not knowingly and intelligently waive the right to a jury trial. For that reason, the lower court must be reversed and this cause remanded for trial.
