Are bench trials or jury trials more constructive to socialism? (hexbear.net)

Most AES countries use a bench trial system for criminal law, but this seems like possibly taking power away from the workers in important matters. What was the thought process behind using bench trials for criminal court in AES nations?

(For reference, a bench trial is where one or more judges/magistrates decide the outcome of a trial as opposed to a jury of people)

Interesting, I thought the USSR used a panel of judges, but it looks like I just got terminology mixed up
