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?

I see all the answers talking about what and why jury trials and what the judge does in a jury trial, but not answering the first question of why jury vs judge. In most cases, a jury trial would be preferred. This is especially true in a case where the defense can appeal to the emotions of a jury. If however emotions don’t come in at all and it’s down to a question of interpretation of the law, a trial by judge might be a better option.
