Description
SWEENEY, C.J. The State charged Monica Mewes with second degree kidnapping. A court commissioner found her guilty as charged following a bench trial. The court then entered findings of fact on a pre-printed form which read: The court, based upon the Information, testimony heard and the case record to date, finds that the defendant has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the following offense(s): Kidnaping [sic] 2 The report of proceedings filed on appeal is replete with ""inaudible"" victim responses. The State concedes that the record cannot be supplemented because the tape is no longer available. In addition, the State cannot retry the case because the victim is no longer available. We, nonetheless, take this opportunity to again stress the importance of findings of fact on all ultimate facts supporting each element of the crime charged. JuCR 7.11(d).
