“Since section 576 requires the consent of all parties, in all future cases, the trial court should inform the defendant of his statutory right and secure a response on the record. Accordingly, we are required to REVERSE and REMAND this case for a NEW TRIAL.”
¶2I concur in the court’s decision based on the principle of stare decisis. However, since 22 O.S.1981, § 576 requires the consent of all parties, I would further hold that in all future cases, the trial court should inform the defendant of his statutory right and secure a response on the record.
