A panel of ordinary citizens who make decisions is known as a "Jury"
Yes, it is.
No. It's up to the judge's discretion in Arizona whether or not to sequester juries, e.g. in the event of a high profile case, but even in this extremely high profile case, and even though the jury has been given the admonition not to speak to the media or let their identities be known, the jury has NOT been sequestered.
A petit jury is the same thing as a trial jury. This is a panel of jurors selected by lawyers and a judge to hear evidence and fact concerning either a civil or criminal case. They are charged with determining either guilt or innocence, pro or con or whatever decision they are charged with.
A criminal information is a criminal charge that is brought by prosecutor rather than by a grand jury. A charge from a grand jury is called an indictment.
The Grand Jury
a jury..
The Senate in ancient Rome was a consulting body. The senators talked and talked and talked. They would debate any proposal that someone brought up and after talking it out, took a vote to see if the proposal passed. They also acted as a jury in high profile criminal cases. In the times of the emperors, the senate went through the motions of confirming each new emperor.

A "grand jury" might be utilized to hand down an indictment in a criminal case. The subsequent trial would be held in 'criminal court' and tried by a 'petit jury.'
