We recommend a jury trial because it's better to convince multiple people that you are not-guilty rather than one person. In a jury trial, all jurors have to be unanimous–if we can convince one person that you are not guilty, then you won't be convicted. In a bench trial, we only advocate to one person: the judge.
The reason to use a jury is to have a group of ordinary people, completely informed of the evidence, decide on the facts of the case. To use a judge only, is to risk obtaining a purely technical, or even a personally biased view, not a consensus view. To try to a jury is, in concept at least, to try to the community.
