Can the jury decide what the evidence is in a case?
That depends on what "decide what the evidence is" means. The jury does not decide what evidence is admissible in the court; that is up to the judge, and is one of the judge's primary responsibilities. If the attorney for one side or the other thinks evidence should not be admitted, they can make a motion to suppress or exclude it on various grounds, or object during the trial. If the judge decides that the jury should not consider a certain piece of evidence that was introduced, he or she can instruct the jury to disregard it. The jury's only role is to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not (or to find for the plaintiff or the defendant in a civil case).

It is unethical and illegal for a judge to kill a case. Judges are expected to preside over cases impartially and fairly, and any attempt to manipulate the outcome of a case is a violation of judicial ethics and can lead to severe consequences, including removal from the bench. If there are concerns about a judge's behavior in a case, it should be addressed through appropriate legal channels.
