Depending on the type of trial you were involved in it could be the Judge or it could be the Jury that finds you not guilty.
What type of evidence is brought into court and seen by the jury as opposed to evidence that is described for the jury?

What type of jury decides the fate of a defendant beyond a reasonable doubt?
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.
When is a jury's desicion not final?
I am going to assume this has to deal with criminal law as it is in the "Crime and Criminal Law", so this information does not apply to civil (Though it is similar). The good news is that if a jury returns a verdict of not guilty, that is it - the defendant is not guilty on those charges. It can never be overturned (Assuming there is not some type of jury problem and there is a retrial). Basically, an appeals court can never overturn a not guilty verdict when it is returned by a jury. This is based on the doctrine of claim preclusion. If someone could be tried twice on the same charges, this would be a deprivation of the 14th amendment due process right afforded to the defendant by the state. There are some instances to take note of, however. One being when the jury returns a guilty verdict, and the judge grants a motion notwithstanding the verdict (Essentially overturning the jury's verdict and finding the defendant not guilty). This CAN be appealed and overturned. This is not subject to claim preclusion. Good luck.

Which jury that determines whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty?
At law, in a jury trial, the jury makes findings of factand the judge makes conclusions of law. In a bench trial, the judge makes both findings of fact and conclusions of law.To distinguish this type of jury from the grand jury, it is sometimes known as a petit jury. Also, less formally than the law French, it is known as a jury of one's peers.

Juries empanelled to hear cases in criminal couirts are known as PETIT JURIES. A petit jury is an old-fashioned name for the jury thst hears a lawsuit or criminal prosecution. Petit is the French term meaning "small", to distinguish it from a "grand" jury, which performs other duties, mainly to return an indictment or not. A person on a petit jury is part of the most common type of jury service. See: http://definitions.uslegal.com/p/petit-jury/
Who makes decisions in a lower court?
The presiding judicial officer or the jury - depending on the type of trial being conducted.
Is district jury duty the same as petit jury duty?
Yes, district jury duty typically refers to service on a petit jury, which is a type of jury that hears cases in a district court. Petit juries are responsible for determining the facts of a case in civil and criminal trials, whereas grand juries, another type of jury, are involved in deciding whether there is enough evidence to indict someone. Thus, while "district jury duty" and "petit jury duty" are closely related, they refer to the same jury service in the context of district courts.
