Froelich, Judge,
concurring.
{¶ 17} I concur only to emphasize that a defendant cannot be convicted of something he or she is not charged with, regardless of proof at trial. Appellant was charged with only the minor misdemeanor of disorderly conduct, irrespective of what the court, the prosecutor, the defense attorney, or appellant thought the charge was.
{¶ 18} If a request to amend the complaint had been made, the court would then have had to consider, for example, questions related to Crim.R. 7(D), speedy trial, prejudice, continuance, and lesser included offenses. But such issues are not before us.
