Question: What happens in a bench trial?

Option analysis:
- Provided answer: "The defendant gives up his or her right to a trial by jury. Instead, the trial is conducted with only the judge."
  This statement correctly describes a bench trial, which is a trial conducted by a judge (a judge-only bench trial) rather than a jury trial. The defendant relinquishes the right to a jury and the judge serves as fact-finder and arbiter of the law. The bench trial is typically used for certain types of cases where the parties agree or where the court determines it’s appropriate, and it results in a verdict delivered by the judge rather than a jury.

Note on missing options:
- The data provided does not include any alternative answer choices to evaluate. Without the other options, we cannot compare or contrast statements like whether a bench trial involves jury rights, how evidence is weighed, or who renders the verdict in other contexts. In a typical multiple-choice setup, distractors might claim that a bench trial has a jury or that the judge decides only sentencing, but in a bench trial, there is no jury and the judge rules on both fact and law.

Summary of implications:
- A bench trial eliminates the jury as the fact-finder.
- The judge determines both questions of fact and questions of law, and issues a verdict.
- If you were preparing for exams, you would look for options that state there is no jury and that the judge decides the outcome, contrasting with a jury trial where a panel of jurors decides the verdict.
