Description
The defendant was convicted in county court of willful failure to file a personal property tax return in violation of section 77-1232, R. R. S. 1943, and was fined $500. Upon appeal to the District Court the judgment was affirmed. The defendant has now appealed to this court and contends the judgment should be reversed because he was denied a trial before a 12-member jury in the county court, the county court refused to instruct the jury that it should determine both the law and the facts, and his refusal to file the return was based upon a claim made in good faith that the return would tend to incriminate him. The statutory penalty for willful failure to file a personal property tax return is a fine of from $50 to $500. § 77-1232, R. R. S. 1943. The offense charged was a petit offense and there was no constitutional right to a trial by a jury of 12 members. See State v. Young, 194 Neb. 544, 234 N.W.2d 196. The defendant was tried before a 6-member jury as authorized by section 24-536, R. R. S. 1943.
