Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trial de novo is a new trial that is held as if the first trial never happened. This means that any illegal evidence introduced in the first trial would be excluded from the new trial. A jury trial is a trial where a jury is present to determine the verdict. A bench trial is a trial where a judge decides the verdict without a jury. A new trial could refer to any kind of trial that is held again, without specifying whether illegal evidence will be excluded.
