When a jury declares that someone is guilty, it is referred to as a "guilty verdict." This decision is reached after the jury has reviewed the evidence presented during the trial and determined that the prosecution has proven the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The guilty verdict can lead to sentencing, where the judge determines the appropriate punishment for the crime.

What is the difference between a grand jury and a jury?
A Grand Jury hears primarily from the prosecutor, usually in sessions that are closed to the press and the public, and decides whether there is enough evidence to charge someone and to hold a trial. A jury (or Petit Jury) hears evidence from both prosecutor and defense in a courtroom before a judge where any member of the press and the public can come and observe. The Judge tells the jury what the law says and the jury decides if the facts indicate guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge then releases the defendant (if found not guilty) or passes sentence (if found guilty).

What if one juror says not guilty?
If one juror says "not guilty," it can lead to a hung jury, meaning the jurors are unable to reach a unanimous decision. In many jurisdictions, a not guilty verdict from even a single juror prevents a conviction. The case may then be retried with a new jury, or the prosecution may choose to dismiss the charges altogether. The presence of a dissenting juror highlights the importance of reasonable doubt in the legal process.
What if 6 members say guilty and 6 say not guilty?
That is known as a "Deadlocked" or a "Hung Jury." The judge will usually reiterate his instructions to the jury - instruct them in the applicable portions of the law - and send them back to deliberate further. In the final analysis if the jury remains deadlocked a "mis-trial" will be declared. And a new trial will be scheduled.
