There are a variety of numbers when it comes to amount of jurors needed for a case to go to trial in Canada. The minimum number of jurors however is ten or a case won't continue.
The process to convict a murderer is quite simple. You arrest him. You present the case to the grand jury to get an inditement. You then take the case to a trial jury where the lawyers present the facts of the case to the jurors. Then the lawyers present their interpretation of the facts to the jurors. Then the Judge reads the law to the Jurors. Then the Jurors deliberate and return with a verdict. If the jury finds the defendant guilty, the prisoner is convicted. Following that, the state will pay for 2 direct appeals and 5 collateral appeals plus a hearing for a pardon. In the process, a bunch of lawyers get rich on your tax dollar.
The amount of jurors that must agree on a case will depend on the type of case it is. In a civil case, 6 out of 8 jurors must agree to pass a verdict. In a criminal case, all of the jurors must agree and the vote must be unanimous or it will be a hung jury.
It must be agreed by all (12) of the jurors deciding the case.
The evidence may not be sufficient to convict the suspect in the case.
Jurors do not sentence. The jurors give their finding of guilt or innocence. Then, court usually adjourns and weeks or months later, the Judge issues a sentence.
No. The jurors had to swear an oath to be neutral, impartial, and judge the case on the facts presented alone.
In a court of law, the number of witnesses needed to convict someone varies depending on the case and the evidence presented. Generally, there is no specific number of witnesses required for a conviction. The decision to convict someone is based on the strength of the evidence and whether it proves the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.
