Trail jury, i think
Custody cases are cases that are not decided upon by a jury. Traffic court cases are also not cases decided upon by a jury.
Approximately 2-3 of criminal cases go to jury trial.
In a jury trial, the jury makes decisions of fact, and the judge makes decisions on the law. Neither has any input on the others' decisions.
Cases of Impeachment trial may not be held by jury.
The right to trial by jury is guaranteed in all criminal cases and civil cases over a certain dollar amount.
A jury in a trial makes the same decisions as a judge would in a bench trial. Based on evidence, they decide if a person charged is guilty or innocent.
In most cases, you have the right to a trial by jury, but this is not a requirement. In a criminal case, if the defendant opts to have a bench trial, there will be no jury. In a civil case, if neither party requests a jury, it will be a bench trial.
In cases of impeachment.
The defendant can request a trial held only in front of a judge (bench trial) or trial held in front of a jury (jury trial). In some cases (capital crimes) the option is not offered and a trial by jury is mandatory.
