No. The US Supreme Court is an appellate court under all circumstances except disputes between the states. Only trial courts (original jurisdiction) have juries; courts of appeals do not decide whether someone is guilty, they determine whether the defendant's (or petitioner's) rights were protected under the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has Original Jurisdiction in several areas:
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall haveappellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
US Constitution, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2
However, even when trying such a case, no jury is used, and the panel of justices act as the jury and judge, collectively.
