Mohamed M. Dadouch, Appellant-Defendant v. State of Indiana, Appellee-Plaintiff.

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that Dadouch did not validly waive his misdemeanor right to a jury trial because the record did not establish that he was properly advised of the written-demand deadline or that failing to meet it would waive the right. The court therefore vacated the Court of Appeals opinion and reversed Dadouch's conviction, while permitting the State to retry him because the evidence was sufficient.
