A "bench trial" is a case heard by a judge without a jury. In a jury case, the jury decides the facts of the case -- what is true and not true -- and the judge decides the law. In a bench trial, the judge determines the facts and the law.
Deliberated means to consider carefully. A jury is chosen from a pool of the defendant's peers. Upon hearing all aspects of a court case, the jury must deliberate, and jointly decide on the charges against the defendant.
You don't request a hearing before a Grand Jury. As a matter of fact, you don't even attend your own hearing. If you are arrested, your case will automatically be presented to a Grand Jury for them to consider if they will charge you with the crime or not.
A jury will be given information from lawyers, evidence, and such and base the decision of guilt on the information provided. The jury is what determines guilt. If it goes to the Supreme Court than they decide on the legality of a case. If it's a small court case than a judge may pass guilt in which you can appeal for a trial by a jury.
In a jury trial, the jury (petit jury) would determine which facts are (most likely) true or fabricated, as well as determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant. In a trial without a jury, this role would be carried out by the judge or magistrate.
