Appellant.*
[1] Criminal Law - Appeal and Error - Omission of Findings and Conclusions - Correction of Record. While the omission of findings of fact and conclusions of law from the record on appeal, in a criminal case tried without a jury, may be corrected by submitting such matters any time while the appeal is pending, the failure to do so will require the cause to be remanded for their entry by the trial court, and for the entry of a proper judgment and sentence.
