See Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U.S. 488, 496, 94 S.Ct. 2697, 41 L.Ed.2d 897 (1974); Cheff v. Schnackenberg, 384 U.S. 373, 379-80, 86 S.Ct. 1523, 16 L.Ed.2d 629 (1966); cf. Bloom, 391 U.S. at 211, 88 S.Ct. 1477 (concluding that a contempt punished by a two-year term of imprisonment is a “serious offense” to which the right to trial by jury applies); Int’l Union, United Mine Workers of Am. v. Bagwell, 512 U.S. 821, 837-38, 114 S.Ct. 2552, 129 L.Ed.2d 642 (1994) (<HOLDING>). Similarly, in this State “[t]he general rule
