Legal groups petition Supreme Court to end jury trial exceptions for minor crimes, citing unfair convictions.
Experts and advocacy groups have backed a New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging a rule that denies jury trials for "petty offenses" punishable by six months or less in prison.
The NCLA argues this precedent led to an unconstitutional conviction of their client, David Lesh, for violating U.S. Forest Service regulations.
The briefs contend that ending the "petty-offense exception" is crucial for transparency, accountability, and fairness in the justice system.
