Where I live the judge asks the defendant "Do you wish to waive your right to a trial by jury". Most people do. The smart ones don't.
The people who waive their right to a trial by jury get a trial by the judge right away. You never know what the judge will do. I think a jury requires more evidence and proof.
My mom and sisters have drug habits so I've been to court with them. I take my mom to court. If I didn't she probably wouldn't show up and would get into more trouble.
