You are now all the way brought up to speed.
1) does a phrase "No person may CONVICTED of..." Mean "no person may be tried for" Reread the case you provided and think on that while you do. The whole Battle case may not have been necessary.
Next I believe that CPC16 was ammended to add "Public offenses) where as before it just stated "crimes."
So are public offenses crimes? In the opinion you posted there is a "Public offense (Crimes)" in there however why is crimes in parenthisis instead of being offset with a comma?
So is a public offense a crime?
Can one be convicted of a pubic offense without a jury trial?
Can one be tried and not convicted of a public offense without a jury trial?
Then look into the cases and make sure that the LATEST enacted law is the one that is being given effect.
