If there is no plea bargain, then the case will move on to trial.

庭审（Trial）

庭审分法官审（bench trial）和陪审团审（jury trial）两种。被告按照联邦宪法规定，有权决定是法官审还是陪审团审。如果决定庭审，检察官要将证据与被告律师分享，以让对方准备庭审。

Trials are divided into two categories: bench trials and jury trials. The defendant has the constitutional right to a jury trial. Prior to the trial, the prosecutor will share the evidence with the defendant’s lawyer to prepare for the defense.

如果是陪审团审，由普通百姓中筛选出来的12人陪审团按照合法进入庭审的证据和证词，认定事实。法官主要作用是一个裁判，在辩方和检察官的对抗过程中，裁定哪些证据证人证词可以进入庭审。法官另外一个作用是向陪审团全体成员解释法律；陪审团不理解，有疑问时候能问法官。

If it is a jury trial, 12 jurors, selected from the general public, shall evaluate the evidence and make the factual findings of the case. The judge decides on what evidences or testimonies are admissible into the trial. The judge also explains the applicable law to the grand jury. If the jury has any question, they may ask the judge to elaborate. The jury cannot ask the prosecutor or the defense lawyer any question.

陪审团适用法官解释的法律于陪审团自己认定的事实，一般情况下全体一致认定原告是否构成犯罪。陪审团不能与被告辩护律师或者检察官问答，或者其他形式互动。陪审团不能不经法院批准，擅自试图获得其他证据、造访当事人、察看犯罪现场。

The jury applies the law and the fact as they find it to be and reach a verdict. A jury verdict usually has to be unanimous... The jury shall not obtain other evidence without the court’s approval, consult with either party, or visit the scene of the crime.

如果12名庭审陪审团成员没有达成一致，庭审宣告无效；但这不意味着被告无罪，而是由法庭重开审判，一般直到有一个12平民构成的陪审团对于被告的罪与非罪达成一致。

If the jury of twelve cannot reach an agreement, it results in a mistrial. This does not mean that the defendant is not guilty, as it only means there will be a retrial until 12 jurors arrive at a unanimous verdict of guilty or not guilty.
