Grand Jury
In article 3 of the Constitution, a person accused of a crime has the right to a trial by jury. This means that their case will be heard and decided by a group of their peers who will determine their innocence or guilt.
The judge's function in a trial by jury, is to rule on matters of law and evidence and ensure the trial is conducted properly in accordance with applicable law. But, it is the jury's verdict which IS the final decision. Depending upon the type of trial the judge MAY have some leeway in in sentencing or levying a punishment or fine.
A petit jury in a criminal trial decides whether or not a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The other type of jury, the Grand Jury, decides whether or not there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against a defendant prior to the trial. It does not decide whether or not the defendant is guilty. Therefore the Grand Jury is not bound by the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
