six jurors and two alternates. Only six go to deliberations, if it gets that far.
Jurors actually chosen to serve on a jury must serve until the end of the trial and they have delivered a verdict.
Six for a misdemeanor, 12 for a felony.
k.k, who's there? George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman who? Congratulations you're on the jury. Apparently he thought it woudl be funny to mock the apparent ignorance of the jury.

The jurors were riding on their slates before the trial had began because they already had a predetermined outcome.
What are you asking about?
State law calls for only 6 jurors and 1 alternate for all criminal cases except capital cases. the US Supreme Court held in Williams vs Florida that 6 jurors are sufficient under the 6th Amendment. Interestingly, an eminent domain case gets 12 jurors. If the state is going to take your house and pay you for it you get 12 jurors; if you're facing life in prison 6 will do.
How ;many alternate jurors in a criminal trial?
It depends where they are in the process. During jury selection, there is an opportunity to interview the jury pool. The questions can be personal, but should have some relationship to the case and the ability to serve. Once the trial has started, there should not be individual conversations with jurors.
