It can logically be assumed that the question is specific to decisions of the United States Supreme Court. If "court" is defined as trial courts, both criminal and civil, then a multitude of factors can influence decisions, especially given the variables involved, including whether the defendant waives his or her right to a jury trial in favor of a bench decision rendered by a judge.
