Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether, consistent with the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, a waiver of the right to a jury trial is intelligent when the record does not show the defendant understood all the fundamental attributes of that right, including that the jury would be chosen from a cross-section of the community, he could participate in its selection, and all jurors would have to agree beyond a reasonable doubt to convict.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the Missouri Court of Appeals erred in holding that a jury trial waiver does not require the record to show the defendant understood all fundamental attributes of the right to a jury trial
