For the Sixth? I'll let you decide after this question and answer from Justice Alito:
JUSTICE ALITO: Do we assume for purposes of this case that your client, a corporation, has a Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial?MR. PHILLIPS: I think the language of the Sixth Amendment couldn't be clearer, that it says in all criminal prosecutions the -- the accused is entitled to a jury trial, and all -- and you know, Article III, section 2, says in all jury trial -- in criminal prosecutions there's a jury trial. So there is no effort whatsoever to limit the -- the individual, or in any way to -- the person or persons or entities that are entitled to those rights.JUSTICE ALITO: What are the peers of the Southern Union Company that would sit on the jury, other railroads?

Maybe he was just being funny. Even corrupt, disgusting, immoral, inseneitive, selfish, and greedy conservatives sometimes crack a joke that doesn't demean minorities or the poor.
To steal a line from the New Yorker:
"I will believe corporations are people when Texas executes one." Actually, I will settle for a long jail term
