Unless there is a mistrial or a new trial is ordered after a conviction is appealed, there is only one trial per defendant per set of charges. An acquittal (finding of "not guilty") cannot be appealed. This is the same whether the trial is heard by a judge (a bench trial) or a jury.
Yes, a jury decides if a person is guilty or not guilty.
It takes 12 Jurors to arrive at a decision. But a Jury only decides the guilty/ not guilty verdict, and all 12 Jurors have to agree on either guilty, or not guility or else the Jury has to try to convince each other to all agree on either guilty or not guilty. If that fails, the Jury turns into a "Hung Jury" and a new Jury is brought in.
Petit jury
"He was found guilty by the jury" is passive voice.
In a criminal trial the jury is the "finder of fact". This means that the jury, as one, determines what to believe and what actually happened. The jury will determine what crime was committed. For example, the jury will determine if a person is guilty of murder or manslaughter.
the role of the jury is to deiced if guilty or not guilty.
We the people have decided that ........ is (guilty or not guilty)
no the jury found him not guilty so he didnt do it
The jury will acquit or convict the person by voting. However, you need 12 out of 12 guilty votes to convict them
That's it! There are no other verdicts. Guilty or Not Guilty is the only choice.
The jury could see that the defendant was guilty.
