Case Synopsis

The respondent committed domestic violence resulting in him being charged with a misdemeanor, which was later changed to a misdemeanor battery. Cerrone attempted to get the updated charge thrown out. Cerrone claimed that the charge denied him a right to a jury trial. Cerrone appealed to the district court on a mandamus relief. It was then appealed to the appellate court. The appellate court argued that the District Court had erred in their decision and the municipal court had the right to have a bench trial due to the simple battery charge.
