(1) A Judge who tries criminal proceedings without a jury may make any finding
that could have been made by a jury on the question of the guilt of the
accused person. Any such finding has, for all purposes, the same effect as a
verdict of a jury.
(2) A judgment by a Judge in any such case must include
the principles of law applied by the Judge and the findings of fact on which
the Judge relied.
(3) If any Act or law requires a warning to be given to a
jury in any such case, the Judge is to take the warning into account in
dealing with the matter.
