So what’s the reasoning behind Jury Trials vs Trials where the judge decides everything? What does a Judge do in Jury trials? Why do some countries not have jury trials and all trials are just with a judge or multiple judges?

Hey I have this one: do you think you win ‘the letter of the law’? if so you want a judge/bench trial or if you are being charged with something that falls under ‘that is super fucked up’ to the point a regular person would probably find you guilty entirely because of the accusation (aka you are a pedophile state coach)
if you think the letter of the law works in your favor you want a judge/bench trial or if you think there is something that is ‘super fucked up’ that will come into evidence. A judge can tell the jury to ‘disregard’ a statement or picture but let’s be practical the second you show the random walmart associate a picture of a dead body and say ‘hey this person is the killer’ that guy who works at walmart is going to ignore anything else
