Can the jury decide what the evidence is in a case?
That depends on what "decide what the evidence is" means. The jury does not decide what evidence is admissible in the court; that is up to the judge, and is one of the judge's primary responsibilities. If the attorney for one side or the other thinks evidence should not be admitted, they can make a motion to suppress or exclude it on various grounds, or object during the trial. If the judge decides that the jury should not consider a certain piece of evidence that was introduced, he or she can instruct the jury to disregard it. The jury's only role is to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not (or to find for the plaintiff or the defendant in a civil case).
What does the judge decide in a juvenile court case?
In a juvenile court case, the judge decides on the appropriate course of action for the minor involved, which may include rehabilitation, community service, probation, or placement in a juvenile facility. The judge considers the best interests of the child, the nature of the offense, and any mitigating circumstances. The outcome often focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to reintegrate the youth into society. Ultimately, the judge's decision varies based on the specific circumstances of each case.
