jury

A jury is a group of ordinary citizens selected to evaluate evidence and make decisions in legal cases. In criminal trials, jurors determine whether the accused is guilty or not guilty based on the evidence presented in court. In civil cases, they decide on liability and damages. Jurors are expected to remain impartial and base their decisions solely on the facts of the case, as guided by the judge's instructions. The jury system is designed to ensure that community members have a voice in the justice process and helps uphold the principle of a fair trial.
