Court of Appeals of Georgia July 25, 2002, A02A1583 (Helmer v. State)

Blackburn, Chief Judge.

Following a bench trial, Rachael Helmer appeals her conviction for speeding, contending that the record fails to show whether she knowingly elected to proceed pro se and that she did not knowingly and voluntarily waive her right to a jury trial. For the reasons set forth below, we are constrained to reverse Helmer’s conviction.
