(in the US) you are entitled to have a jury of regular citizens hear your case rather than simply be judged by a judicial official. It is not necessary in ALL cases, to have a jury hear your case, you MAY request a bench trial if you wish. However in some capital cases you may not be granted a bench trial even if you request it, because of the consequences to you of a guilty verdict.

Supreme courts will hear cases in which there are complex issues of law that need review or clarification.

How does death penalty condemn the innocent to die?
The death penalty is the death penalty. It condemns no one. It is a legitimate judicial act of the State. On the other hand, juries condemn people. Juries are part of the judicial system. Juries react to evidence and lawyers' pleadings and questionings, an arguably subjective process. Innocent people die because the judicial system is not perfect and juries and district attorneys and public defenders are fallible. Whenever people are in the loop, there will be errors. On the other hand, there are some people in our society who take lives, commit unspeakable crimes, and need to be held accountable for them. It is for them that the death penalty is reserved, and for whom it is highly appropriate.
