SINGER V. UNITED STATES
380 U.S. 24 (1965)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal from the failure to waive a jury trial.
FACTS: Singer (D) was charged with mail fraud. At trial, D attempted to waive a trial by
jury. The trial court was willing to approve the waiver, but the government (P) refused to
consent. D was convicted. D appealed, claiming that the Constitution gives a defendant in a
federal criminal case the right to waive a jury trial whenever he believes such action to be
in his best interest, regardless of whether the prosecution and the court are willing to
acquiesce.
