Answer to Question 1

Although, as the Supreme Court pointed out in Duncan, a jury can be an important safeguard against the potential abuses of judges and prosecutors, there are occasions on which the defendant wishes to waive his or her right to a jury trial. If the case is one that might inflame the emotions of a jury, or prior media exposure might cause a jury to be biased, then obtaining a fair and impartial jury may be difficult. In such a situation, the defendant may opt for a bench trial, in which the judge decides the question of guilt.

Answer to Question 2

C
