Bench Trial
If you are not able to resolve the DUI case to your satisfaction with the
prosecutor, your case will need to be set for trial.
There are two types of trials. You can have a jury trial or a bench trial.
A jury trial is a trial before individuals from your county. The number of jurors
may vary depending upon the state you reside. A juror is a person who is will sit
and listen to the facts a deliver a verdict.
In numerous circumstances, you and your attorney may decide to waive a right to a
jury trial and have a bench trial. A bench trial is a trial in which the judge
will listen to all the facts and render the verdict. A bench trial is a useful
tool for many local DUI attorneys.
Your local DUI attorney will be able to evaluate the facts of your case and
determine that it is more beneficial for a judge to hear the facts. The burden
of proof on the state is the same as in a jury trial, beyond a reasonable doubt.
Bench trials are typically shorter in duration than a jury trial.
