Misdemeanors are crimes generally punishable by less than one year's imprisonment.  You have the right to a jury trial when charged with a misdemeanor if the crime is considered serious enough to warrant a jury trial.  In Florida if the prosecutors office waives jail time then you typically no longer have the right to a jury trial.
