On rehearing, this court remanded this matter to the trial court for an evidentiary hearing and a determination of whether the defendant knowingly and intelligently waived his right to a jury trial. We further instruct*525ed the trial court to set aside the conviction and grant a new trial if evidence presented at the hearing showed that defendant’s waiver was ineffective.
