1Opinion of the Court
ELDRIDGE, Judge.
We granted petitions for writs of certiorari in these two cases primarily to decide whether, under Maryland law, a defendant in a circuit court constructive criminal contempt case has a right to a jury trial regardless of the sentence which is ultimately imposed by the court. Additional issues relating to the constructive criminal contempt prosecutions are also presented by the petitioners.
I
Since this opinion deals with two entirely separate cases, we shall set forth the relevant facts of each case in turn.
