In the demand a party may specify the issues which the party wishes so tried; otherwise the party shall be deemed to have demanded trial by jury for all the issues so triable.
Predictable Outcomes: Judges' decisions are generally more predictable than those of a jury, in which emotions or personal biases can sway. If, for example, you're assigned a judge with a record of showing leniency for mitigating circumstances, your attorney might recommend waiving the jury trial.
(d) Waiver; Withdrawal. A party waives a jury trial unless its demand is properly served and filed. A proper demand may be withdrawn only if the parties consent.
Defendants generally trust that a jury will acquit or render a not guilty verdict more often (than a judge). The O.J. trial certainly validated this belief. Both the defendant and the People have the right to a jury trial in misdemeanor and felony trials (California Constitution, Article I, § 16 and Penal Code § 699).
On any issue triable of right by a jury, a party may demand a jury trial by: (1) serving the other parties with a written demand—which may be included in a pleading—no later than 14 days after the last pleading directed to the issue is served; and. (2) filing the demand in ance with Rule 5(d).
A case is withdrawn when the DA says that they are not moving forward on the charges, a case is dismissed by a court when either (1) there is insufficient or inadequate evidence, (2) the DA asks for it to be dismissed, or (3) there was some agreement for the case to be dismissed.
A motion to vacate specifically asks a judge to cancel something. If a judge or jury convicted you of a crime — or you pleaded guilty — then a motion to vacate might ask the judge to cancel the conviction.
“A jury has a power of lenity and can bring in a not guilty verdict in the teeth of the facts.” In its full form, we call the power: jury nullification. It's the power of the jury to veto unjust laws. Juries have had this power since the beginning of the United States.
Typically, a “withdrawal” refers to an attorney trying to be excused from the case and from representing a party. But simply because something is showing as being filed does not mean that it's been reviewed by a judge. Most times, once a document has been filed into the court records, it's viewable.
