A judge who does not charge a jury is typically referred to as a "bench judge" or presiding over a "bench trial." In these cases, the judge is responsible for determining the facts and applying the law without a jury's involvement. This differs from jury trials, where a jury is charged with evaluating evidence and rendering a verdict based on that evidence. In a bench trial, the judge's instructions to the jury are unnecessary since there is no jury present.

What is the difference between a grand jury and a jury?
A Grand Jury hears primarily from the prosecutor, usually in sessions that are closed to the press and the public, and decides whether there is enough evidence to charge someone and to hold a trial. A jury (or Petit Jury) hears evidence from both prosecutor and defense in a courtroom before a judge where any member of the press and the public can come and observe. The Judge tells the jury what the law says and the jury decides if the facts indicate guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge then releases the defendant (if found not guilty) or passes sentence (if found guilty).
