Google requests non-jury trial in US Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit over online advertising.

Google has requested a non-jury trial in the US Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit accusing the company of anticompetitive practices in the online advertising marketplace. Google argues that the case's technical nature may be difficult for a jury to understand and suggests that a judge would be better equipped to handle the complexities of the case. The Justice Department has not yet responded to Google's request.
