Texas Code of Criminal Procedure requires 12 to sit on the Grand Judy and usually two alternates are selected as well (most grand jury terms last long enough that there is a risk of losing a member or two due to illness, death, or family emergency).

A quorum of 9 is required to 'true bill' or return an indictment against a suspect.

What group of people can sit on juries in Athens?

In ancient Athens, juries were composed primarily of male citizens over the age of 30. These citizens were selected from a larger pool of individuals who had completed military training and were eligible to participate in the democratic processes of the city. Women, slaves, and non-citizens were excluded from serving on juries. The jury system was a key aspect of Athenian democracy, allowing citizens to participate directly in legal proceedings.


What is atticus answer when jem asks why don't people like us and miss Maudie ever sit on juries?

Yes, Jem is observing that the people he sees on juries don't live in the town - they live in the country. Because they live in the country, the people from town don't really know the people sitting on the jury. At this time (similar to how it works today), there was a box or a list of names of the people living in Maycomb County, and juries are selected randomly. However, at this time, the names of women and African-Americans were not included on this list that jury members were selected from. If people had a legitimate reason to not serve on the jury, they could sometimes be excused
