Highlight
The legislature set twenty-eight days as the time a defendant in municipal court has to request a trial by jury.
Once a defendant requests a jury trial, a subsequent waiver of the right to a jury trial must be express.
Without evidence in the files of a municipal court of a defendant's obligation to appear, there is insufficient evidence to prove the defendant failed to appear.
