The District Attorney became the lead prosecutor in the murder trial.
In a Trial by jury,a group of citizens decides if a person is guilty or innocent of committing a crime
The jury system arose in England hundreds of years ago. If there was a crime in a community, the accused was brought to trial before a judge and a jury. The judge presided over the trial and served as the legal expert. The jury was a group of twelve men who were from the area where the crime was committed. The jury heard the evidence and then they, not the judge, decided whether the accused was guilty or innocent.
The model Parliament was a law that stated that commoners (citizens) could sit in as the jury in the court. We still use this today in the official court.
A bench trial is a trial held before a judge sitting without a jury. The term is chiefly used in common law jurisdictions to describe exceptions from jury trial, as most other legal systems (Roman, Islamic and socialist) do not use juries to any great extent.

Some states still use the Grand Jury system to indict the accused. This is a necessary step in the criminal tral process in their states. Other states (most?) now accomplish the same thing by holding a Preliminary Hearing.
They are unique to the US state of Louisiana where the typical governing body of the parish (what other states refer to as a county) is called the Police Jury. Not every parish is governed by a Police Jury, but 41 of the 64 parishes use this system.The Police Jury is the legislative and executive government of the parish, and is elected by the voters. Its members are called Jurors, and together they elect a President as their chairman. The President presides over the Police Jury and serves as the head of the parish government. The Police Jury is very much like the commissions or councils that govern counties in most other states.
