jury deliberation

Jury deliberation is the process where jurors, who have heard all the evidence and closing arguments in a trial, privately discuss to reach a verdict. They assess the facts, consider the law explained by the judge, and work collectively to determine guilt or innocence, or liability and damages. This confidential discussion aims to ensure a fair, unbiased decision based on the evidence presented. The jury’s goal is to reach a consensus or a majority decision, depending on the jurisdiction, to fulfill their duty of delivering a just verdict in the case.
