They listen to the evidence given by both the prosecution and the defensive side, and then vote for if the witness is guilty or not
They listen to the defensive side and the prosecution side. They listen to evidence and make a decision. They elect one person to speak for the whole jury, called the foreman.
In a criminal trial it is the jury's duty to decide the truth, or otherwise, of evidence, therefore juries must be impartial.
When the hearing is over, the jury leaves the courtroom to consider its verdict. The verdict is the jury's decision about whether the accused is guilty or not guilty. Jurors cannot discuss the case with anyone other than fellow members of the jury as the deliberations are confidential.
If the jury finds the accused guilty, the judge then passes sentence. If the accused is found not guilty he or she is released.
They are the "Triers of Fact." They listen to and observe the entire trial process, and after both the defense and the prosecution "rest" their cases, they are "instructed" by the judge on the law applicable to the case. They then adjourn and, in secret, come to a verdict.
In a jury trial, the jury hears testimony and studies the evidence. After the trial has ended they receive instructions from the judge regarding the law as it relates to the issues, they discuss the evidence and the law and reach a verdict based on whether the prosecution proved their case in a criminal trial or whether the plaintiff proved their case in a civil trial. In a criminal trial, they determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. In a civil trial, they determine whether or not the defendant is liable, and if so, for how much.
The jury are selected people of the public.
They listen to the whole court case, and at the end say whether they find the suspect guilty or not guilty?
In a court of law, the final decision is typically made by the judge if it is a bench trial (no jury). In cases with a jury, the final decision is made collectively by the jury based on the evidence presented and the law as instructed by the judge.
No. Where the jury acts, the jury acts as trier of fact only. The court routinely instructs the jury as to principles of law and their application, but the court, not the jury, determines the applicable law and how it is to be applied. In this, the jury has no discretion.
