What is a Jury?

A jury is a group of people who decides the outcome of a trial. There are twelve people in the jury who come from all different parts and aspects of life. In order to convict a criminal or criminal act, the majority of the jury members must agree on a verdict.[1]

A jury is group of selected people according to law and sworn into or determine the facts concerning a cause or a crime submitted to them and to render a verdict to a court. [2]


Note on jury: No member of the jury may read any news articles, hear any opinions on the cases, or know the suspect or prosecuter. The jury is not supposed to have any personal opinions and can not think someone is guilty until the end of the case. This does not always happen so cases are not always fair. [3]
