The jury consists of 12 people chosen at random from those on the electoral roll. twelve jurors are selected for criminal trails. It is possible to for 15 jurors to be empanelled in special cases(like, really long cases.)

A jury is used in hearing criminal cases where the accused pleads not guilty in a county or supreme court. Juries are not used in the magistrate court.

They listen to all the evidence presented by both sides

Consider this evidence

and reach a decision cased on the evidence. If they find the accuse guilty they must do so beyond 'reasonable doubts'. In all cases other than murder, treason and serious drug offences, their decision can be a majority of 11 outta 12.
