What does it take for grand jury to convict some one for the death penalty?

The grand jury does not convict anyone of anything. The grand jury hears the evidence presented by the prosecutor. If the grand jury thinks the prosecutor has adequate evidence, then the grand jury indicts that person. A trial will then be held before a petite jury, or small jury. It is that jury that determines if someone will get the death penalty.


What are the two types of juries in the federal court system?

Grand juries and Petit juries are the two kinds of juries. Grand juries review evidence of criminal action to determine if there is probable cause for bringing charges and if so, issue an indictment.

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.
