In the United States, most criminal trials require a jury of 12 jurors, while civil trials typically have 6 to 12 jurors, depending on the state and specific case. However, some states allow for smaller juries in certain circumstances, and in some cases, a jury can be composed of as few as 6 jurors. The exact number can vary based on jurisdiction and the type of trial.
In a criminal trial in the United States, a unanimous verdict is typically required for acquittal, meaning all jurors must agree that the defendant is not guilty. The standard number of jurors is usually 12, so all 12 must vote for acquittal. In some jurisdictions, especially in civil cases, a smaller number of jurors may be required. Always check local laws, as requirements can vary.
