If your trial has no jury, then you or your counsel has chosen a "bench trial" whereby the judge will hear the case and render a decision. The evidence is used exactly as if a jury is present, only it, and the entire case, will be presented to the judge instead.
No, in a mistrial, the evidence from the original trial cannot be used again. The case must be retried with new evidence and a new jury.
A trial jury hears the evidence in a trial and deliberates to consider a verdict. A grand jury determines whether there is enough evidence for a criminal trial to proceed.
A trial with no jury is called a "bench trial." In a bench trial, the judge serves as the trier of fact, determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant based on the evidence presented. This type of trial is often used in civil cases or in certain criminal cases where the defendant waives their right to a jury trial.
A grand jury listens to evidence and decides if a trial is warranted.

In a jury trial, the case is heard and decided by a group of impartial individuals (the jury). In a bench trial, the case is heard and decided by a judge without a jury. The judge determines the outcome based on the evidence and arguments presented in court.
A jury in a trial makes the same decisions as a judge would in a bench trial. Based on evidence, they decide if a person charged is guilty or innocent.
The prosecution is responsible for presenting evidence before the jury in a criminal trial, while in a civil trial, both the plaintiff and the defendant may present evidence.
