Description
1 On October 17, 1973, the defendant in this case was charged with Unlawful Possession of a Narcotic With Intent to Distribute. Trial before a jury was set for February 18, 1974. The defendant moved to strike his case from jury trial assignment, having expressed an affirmative desire to waive his constitutional right to a jury trial and be tried by the court. The District Attorney objected and demanded that the State of Oklahoma was entitled to a trial by jury. The defendants motion was overruled and his case was reset for May 13, 1974. The defendant petitioned this Court for a writ of prohibition seeking to prevent his case from being tried before a jury. This Court assumed original jurisdiction and denied the defendants writ on May 9, 1974. This formal Opinion follows in conformity with that Order.
