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.
