In a district court case, the number of jurors typically serving is 12 for a felony trial. However, in some civil cases or misdemeanor trials, the jury may consist of as few as 6 jurors. The specific number can vary based on the jurisdiction and the type of case being heard.
Jurors do not sentence. The jurors give their finding of guilt or innocence. Then, court usually adjourns and weeks or months later, the Judge issues a sentence.
Jurors are told to pay attention to the evidence, not discuss the case with anyone outside of court, and to be impartial.
In federal court, the jury must vote unanimously and there must be 12 jurors. The courts have found that a less than unanimous vote is constitutional.
When serving on a jury, individuals listen to evidence presented in court and then deliberate with other jurors to decide if the defendant is guilty or innocent based on the facts and the law.
