Pray is a term subject to different meanings, but in the legal context, it refers to the specific amount asked for as damages at the end of a complaint or petition. A prayer gives the judge an idea of what is sought, and a defendant who fails to answer may have a default judgment entered against him/her for the amount prayed for. For example: "The plaintiff prays for (1) special damages in the sum of $50,000,(2) general damages according to proof, (3) reasonable attorney's fees; (4) costs of suit; and (5) such other and further relief as the court shall deem proper."

What does it mean when a court case status is Jury trial prayed?

Jury Trial Prayed basically means that the defendant has requested a jury trial. Any defendant that is charged with a felony has the constitutional right to request a jury trial. This can be done for many reasons. It is sometimes used as a delaying tactic by the defense. In some jurisdictions, there are certain criminal charges that may be heard by a judge only. If the defense comes before a judge who is known to be unfriendly or hand down harsh sentences in certain circumstances, the defense will sometimes ask for a jury trial (Pray Jury Trial) which will often mean a change of venue and a delay since there are logistical reasons why a jury cannot be seated on the spot. There are some small courtrooms without jury boxes and they obviously cannot handle jury cases. This has also been commonly used as a general delaying tactic to cause extra inconvenience for a victim and their witnesses.

What are the similarities between impeachment and trial proceedings?

Your question is mixing apples an oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings? If not, there is a trial proceeding I believe to impeach a president. Rather it may be a hearing and not a trial. Your question is mixing apples an oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings?
