I am VERY curious where you are getting your information. You could be right; I'm just curious. Many times, a person may plead guilty, making a jury trial unnecessary. There may be other pleas that kick in various regulations from state to state. I think under some circumstances a defendant's counsel may consider it to the defendant's advantage to waive the right to a trial by jury.
