“'objective' penalty provided by statute.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Potvin implicitly recognizes that modern criminal codes contain proscriptions that are far more complex, detailed and extensive than the criminal law that existed at the time of the adoption of the Constitution ... In particular, it (Potvin) recognizes that, because modern criminal codes permit multiple charges to flow from a single discrete act of criminality, a criminal prosecution can threaten a defendant with the consequences of a serious offense, even though the defendant is not charged with an offense deemed serious under Duncan and Baldwin . In determining the right to a jury trial, it (Potvin) looks to the aggregate penalty that could result from the various charges arising out of a discrete criminal transaction.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“a defendant is entitled to a jury trial for multiple petty offenses ... only if he is actually threatened at the commencement of trial with an aggregate potential penalty of greater than six months' imprisonment.”
