The man pleaded not guilty to the charge.
A jury, having been selected, was dismissed by the judge who would hear the case alone.
The accused declined to give evidence, citing the fifth amendment and his right to silence.
The prosecution witnesses evidence was challenged fiercely by the Defense.
The Judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence to convict the defendant and he was released.

An essay is a short work of writing that treats a topic from an author's personal point of view. Essays are non-fictional but often subjective; while expository, they can also include narrative. Essays can be learned arguments, literary criticism, political manifestos, observations of daily life, recollections and reflections of the author.
The definition of an essay is vague, overlapping with those of an article and a short story. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While today an essay is partly defined by its brevity, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population refer to themselves using the term.

You should do your own homework. As a plaintiff, I would want a judge. As a defendant, a jury. Both answers are for the same reason...but you will have to figure that one out for yourself.
