Hearings don’t involve juries. Yes a judge can toss anything, theoretically. Only one the case “goes to Court” and a jury is chosen, and proceedings begin, do juries join in. Even then, pleas and back room deals lock out juries.
Since most of these cases are not criminal, civil cases often hinge on a judge or arbiter ruling on a law interpretation. Jury cases are rare.

Well, the judge just dismissed today's Georgia fraud case. Would the next steps be appellate, and then after that SCOTUS?
If so, when would the case be heard by SCOTUS?
I'm getting demoralized.
