This all depends on what you mean by 'decide a case' and which country you are in. In the US and the UK, however, a Judge may pass a sentence based on whether or not the Jury has declared a person guilty or not guilty (in a case where a man pleads not guilty) and in a case where a man pleads guilty then the judge, or magistrate passes a sentence; usually reduced based upon the man's plea of guilty.
