What kind of jury instructions does the judge give at the end of a criminal trial?
The judge will usually instruct the jury as to what evidence they may consider, and on definitions of key words that might appear in the titles of charges they can find the accused guilty or not guilty of. For instance, if a possible charge was "assault with great bodily harm," the judge might advise that constitutes "great bodily harm," e.g. broken bones, an injury requiring surgery, one that is life threatening or disfiguring, etc.

If charged guilty for a state crime do you have to go to a trial?
Not quite sure what the questioner is asking, but I'll give it a try. If you choose to plead guilty to a state criminal offense, you will not go on trial, however you will attend a sentencing hearing at which the term of your sentence will be announced. If you plead NOT guilty to a state criminal offense, you can choose to be tried by a judge, alone, or by a jury. After hearing all the evidence, both against you and in your favor, the judge and/or jury will make a decision which the judge will announce. If you're found guilty, later on (or some cases immediately) the sentencing hearing will be conducted, and your sentence announced.

Compare and contrast the role and function of judges lawyers and lay people within the English Courts?
a lay member consist of a magistrate judge and jurors. A jury has the role to provide a verdict within the majority of criminal cases through out England and wales. It is their function to be objective and to not create a judgment based in the defendants appearance, but to listen to the judge who is hearing the trial, and to only listen to the facts and evidence that are presented within the case. A magistrate works in the court of first instance. This means that they hear a vast range of trial but can only sentence summary offences (theft), and send the indictable offences to the High court as they can impose harsher sentences . A district judge works in a magistrates but they are legally qualified so they are not a lay member. They also get paid for their work ,unlike magistrates who only get their expenses paid for. A judge within a criminal trial is there to hear the facts about the offence, and to listen to the jury and to base his sentence on the verdict that they give. In a civil trial, a judge does not have the responsibility of looking after the jury.
