innocent
The court does not assume that you are necessarily guilty just because you plead guilty; there are many cases of innocent people who plead guilty, usually because of some mental illness. A delusional person may believe that he or she is guilty of something that he or she did not actually do. So, the case is still investigated, the evidence is still examined, and the person who pleaded guilty might still be acquitted. However, a guilty plea does constitute some degree of evidence, and it may lead to a guilty verdict, even for a person who is actually innocent. It depends upon what other evidence is available, and upon the care with which the court is handling the trial. It is unfortunately the case that sometimes the police and the prosecutor are just happy to convict someone, whether that person is guilty or not. It counts as a successful prosecution, that someone is found guilty.
the defendant pleads guilty
If your ex-boyfriend pleads not guilty to assaulting you, the case will proceed to trial where both sides will present evidence and testimonies. You may be called to testify about the incident, and the prosecution will attempt to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense will seek to cast doubt on the allegations or provide alternative explanations. Ultimately, a judge or jury will determine his guilt or innocence based on the evidence presented.
A Juvenile Trial is when you go to court and the jury pleads you guilty with charges or your not guilty with charges.

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.
