We affirm appellant's conviction and sentence following a trial by jury. We remand, however, to the trial court to enter a corrected judgment which reflects that appellant was tried by a jury rather than "entered a plea of nolo contendere to the following crimes." Appellant need not be present for the trial court to enter a corrected judgment.
