In the United States, decisions in cases that come to trial are typically made by a jury of peers in a jury trial. These juries are composed of citizens selected from the community who assess the evidence presented during the trial and determine the facts of the case. In criminal cases, a unanimous verdict is usually required for a conviction or acquittal, while in civil cases, a majority or supermajority may suffice. The jury's role is to impartially evaluate the evidence and deliver a verdict based on their findings.
