True
No, both the noun 'trial' and the noun 'juror' are common nouns. A common noun is capitalized only when it is the first word in a sentence.
In a bench trial, the judge determines the outcome.
It is a juror who is on a petit jury or trial jury and he or she listen to the evidence in the case presented by the plantiff and defendant.
The 13th juror is often referred to as the "alternate juror." In a trial, alternate jurors are selected to serve in case a regular juror cannot continue due to reasons such as illness or personal issues. They listen to the proceedings and are prepared to step in and deliberate if needed, ensuring that the trial can proceed without delays.
An alternate juror is typically not returned to the jury pool once selected for a specific trial. Instead, they remain in the courtroom to serve as a backup in case a regular juror is unable to continue. If the trial concludes without the need for their participation, the alternate juror is usually excused after the verdict is reached.

No. The outcome is the event that happens in a trial. Given any variable of interest, the outcome is the value which that variable takes in a trial.
The same as anyone else's. There is no requirement that juror's must speak to ANYONE, but there are no special considerations given to ex-jurors.
A petit B juror is typically a member of a trial jury that decides the verdict in a case. Petit jurors are distinguished from grand jurors who determine whether there is enough evidence to bring a case to trial.
