## Opinion text

Robert L. Brown, Justice, dissenting. I join Justice Glaze’s dissent and add one observation. The trial court initiated the jury trial waiver issue by its written notice to the appellant and counsel. The appellant made no response. That is different from a situation where a defendant initiates the waiver under Ark. R. Crim. P. 31.2. Thus, by not availing himself of a jury trial after notice from the trial court, the appellant waived it.
