The Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial was violated because a judge determined guilt without a jury.

And, oh, well, it's okay to have a judge say you're guilty. No, not unless you allow a judge to try. You can give away your Seventh Amendment right, but you cannot do it unwillingly. This is from the Seventh Amendment. Might have heard of it. In suits of common law, the value in controversy shall exceed $20. The right of trial by jury shall be preserved. And no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States. Well, hell, the judge up front examined it and said, I decide you're guilty, no jury. So that's a total violation.
