Actually , he has filed an appeal to the US Supreme Court.   The offense on which he was found guilty , was defined by the judge as a "Petty Offense" not serious enough to warrant a jury trial.   Yes it is a crime but this very conviction is now tainted by Court's refusal to honor Joe's request for a jury trial.   There is not law on the books allowing limitation of a person's right under the Sixth Amendment.  Doesn't  that unilateral action by a Judge bother you?  what if you were faced with a criminal charge, wanted a jury trial and were arbitrarily denied this right?
