Are you sure, that was not intentional --then made to seem like a mistake? Especially, considering that they are making Trump pay the $355-million before his appeal can be processed.
Do you have link, to verify what you claim here as why there was no jury trial??
Um, yeah, as a matter of fact, I do.

Judge says there was no option for jury in Trump’s fraud case: ‘Nobody forgot to check off a box’
A judge dispelled the notion that the $250 million fraud case against Donald Trump could have been a jury trial, as the former president’s lawyer has insisted.

A Manhattan judge said Wednesday there was no option for former President Donald Trump to have a jury trial in the $250 million civil fraud case against him.
“We are having a non-jury trial because we are hearing a non-jury case,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron said at the seventh day of trial against Trump, according to ABC News.
Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump, 77, said during opening statements last week that her client wanted a jury to oversee the case against him.
Engoron said it wouldn’t have mattered if Trump’s team had checked a box on a legal form requesting a jury, or even if he’d made a motion for one, because the judge would have shot down any such request.
So, no, Trump isn't playing Four Dimensional Chess, like you cultist thing he is. His lawyer was too stupid to request a jury trial, and the judge wouldn't have given her one if she had.
