Opinion
The appellant was convicted of grand theft following a bench trial. At no time did the trial court obtain from appellant a written waiver of her right to a jury trial. See Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.260. Neither did the court obtain a valid oral waiver establishing that the appellant knowingly and intelligently re[202]*202linquished her right to a jury trial. See Tucker v.

Accordingly, the appellant’s conviction is reversed and the case is remanded for a new trial.
