The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial for criminal proceedings, but not for misdemeanors (even if there are "multiple petty crimes" involved).
The Seventh Amendment allows for a jury trial in civil cases exceeding $20, but is not one of incorporated rights applied to the states under the Fourteenth Amendment.

In most cases, you have the right to a trial by jury, but this is not a requirement. In a criminal case, if the defendant opts to have a bench trial, there will be no jury. In a civil case, if neither party requests a jury, it will be a bench trial.

In a jury trial - by a jury of his peers. If the defendant choses a Bench Trial then he will be judged by the Judge.
