How has the trial court treated the waiver of a defendant's right to stand trial by jury?

At the outset the trial court indicated that previously, upon learning that defendant might waive jury trial, the court had informed defense counsel that "there might well be a benefit in it," because "just by having waived jury" and thus not taking two weeks' time to try the case, "that has some effect on the court." Subsequently the trial court, upon informing defendant that he would receive a benefit of an unspecified nature in the event he waived his right to trial by jury, secured defendant's response that he understood. The court made these representations and offers to defendant prior to determining that his waiver of the right to jury trial was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. The form of the trial court's negotiation with defendant presented a "substantial danger of unintentional coercion." (People v. Orin (1975) 13 Cal.3d 937, 943, 120 Cal.Rptr. 65, 533 P.2d 193.)
