State v. Wilson

Appellant, William E. Wilson, was indicted on March 15, 1983 and was charged with kidnapping, in violation of R.C. 2905.01, with a specification concerning possession of a firearm, pursuant to R.C. 2941.141, and aggravated robbery in violation of R.C. 2911.01. Appellant waived his right to trial by jury, and on February 16, 1983 he was found guilty by the trial judge on both counts. However, in that the two offenses were of similar import, the trial judge discharged appellant of the kidnapping charge and sentenced him to a term of imprisonment of seven to twenty-five years.
