Yes.
Global domination. In the case of Canada Britain needed it to keep it from the French, Spanish and other large powers. If Spain or France or Russia were allowed to have control of Canada they could use it to challenge Britain.
That all other jurors vote for guilty or not guilty, and he will abstain (not vote). If everyone votes guilty, then they will put guilty as their verdict. If not, the jurors will talk about the case more.
Legal costs for custody are varied. There are many variables to consider. Here in Ontario Canada, to start a custody case with a lawyer, you would be expected to pay $5000 as retainer to your lawyer. That is not to say that is all it will cost, depending on how long the case takes to reach an agreement, or if it goes to trial. That initial $5000 could be doubled for total costs.
Transparency in public policy (case of Quebec's recent scandals!) Financing of political parties

What to expect during the trial
The number of jurors serving on a case can vary depending on the jurisdiction. In the United States, it is typically 12 jurors for criminal cases and 6 or 12 jurors for civil cases. However, some countries may have different requirements and procedures for determining the number of jurors for a case.
Jurors aren't referred to as "jurors" until the are empanelled for a trial. Up until that time they are PROSPECTIVE JURORS or, MEMBERS OF THE JURY POOL. They are chosen at random from (depending on the state) the voter registration lists or drivers' license lists of their states and sent summonses to appear for jury service. When a jury is needed for a trial several dozen will be selected (again, at random) and those will undergo a process known as VOIRE DIRE, where they are questioned by the defense and prosecution/plaintiff attorneys in an effort to weed out those they think may be the best candidates to hear their case. After that process is complete, both attorneys approach the judge and make their selections. Once the correct number is seated for that particular trial the un-selected group returns to the jury assembly room for possible calls for service in other case. The ones chosen (the number can vary according to the type of trial and state statute) and they are then sworn in by the presiding judge and they THEN become the JURY for that particular case.
Jurors review the evidence in a trial and then decide issues of fact, and give a verdict based on their agreed upon facts. For example, in a murder trial, they would watch the evidence and decide "did he do it?" If they are convinced he did, they would find the defendant guilty. In a civil trial, the issue would be more akin to "is she responsible?" In that case, they would find the defendant liable and set damages.
A Petit C juror refers to a petit juror who has been empaneled to hear a criminal case. Petit jurors are responsible for determining guilt or innocence based on the evidence presented in the trial.
The amount of jurors that must agree on a case will depend on the type of case it is. In a civil case, 6 out of 8 jurors must agree to pass a verdict. In a criminal case, all of the jurors must agree and the vote must be unanimous or it will be a hung jury.
