Graham must face a jury in his murder trial in Denver. Judge McDonald refused defense bids to hear the case without a jury, citing Colorado law that guilt is decided by a jury, while prosecutors argue the judge determines guilt after a jury verdict. Graham, 24, allegedly placed a dynamite bomb in his mother’s luggage last Nov 1 triggering the United Airlines flight disaster killing 44. He has confessed per FBI records amid questions of his sanity and concerns over fairness of a bench trial. The Colorado Supreme Court requires jury trials for murder. the U.S. Constitution secures speedy impartial juries in criminal cases.
