What can a defendant in superior court choose to do at trial?

A defendant in superior court has the right to waive their right to a jury trial and opt for a bench trial instead. This means that they can choose to have a judge alone hear and decide their case, rather than having it decided by a jury of their peers. This option may be chosen for various reasons, such as the belief that a judge will be more knowledgeable about the law, or the desire for a quicker resolution without the complexities involved in jury deliberations.

The option to declare all evidence inadmissible is not attainable by the defendant unilaterally, as that decision rests on legal standards and procedures defined by the court. The notion of appealing directly to the Supreme Court from a superior court trial is also not accurate, as appeals generally proceed through intermediate appellate courts first. Finally, requesting an automatic retrial is not within the defendant's power; retrials usually arise from specific legal grounds, such as a hung jury or procedural errors. Thus, the correct choice focuses on the defendant's agency in selecting how their trial is conducted.
