A question about Alex Jones' custody case [View all]

Is it common for juries to decide this? I had always thought this was something family court judges did in private courtrooms not juries in public ones. Jones is loony tunes or a fraud take your pick but for his kid to have to sit in front of a jury strikes me as not being kosher.
