A criminal case will not go to trial if the defendant pleads guilty at a preliminary hearing or if the prosecution decides to discontinue the case (usually because they think the evidence is not strong enough for a reasonable chance of conviction).
The time it takes for a criminal case to go to trial can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case and the court's schedule. On average, it can take several months to a year or more for a criminal case to go to trial.

Approximately 2-3 of criminal cases go to jury trial.
The case is scheduled to go to trial next month.
Not if you're in a undeveloped and economically weak country like America

The question is unclear - - STIPULATIONS (???)
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.
