1. Juror

   A jury is a sworn body of people (jurors) convened to hear evidence and render an impartial verdict (a finding of fact on a question) officially submitted to them by a court, or to set a penalty or judgment. Juries developed in England during the Middle Ages and are a hallmark of the English common law system. As such, they are used by the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and other countries whose legal systems were derived from the British Empire. But most other countries use variations of the European civil law or Islamic sharia law systems, in which juries are not generally used. Most trial juries are "petit juries", and usually consist of twelve people. Historically, a larger jury known as a grand jury was used to investigate potential crimes and render indictments against suspects. All common law countries except the United States and Liberia have phased these out. The modern criminal court jury arrangement has evolved out of the medieval juries in England. Members were supposed to inform themselves of crimes and then of the details of the crimes. Their function was therefore closer to that of a grand jury than that of a jury in a trial.

Examples of juror in a Sentence

1. Rob Portman:

   I have said with regard to the President's comments that day that they were partly responsible for what happened for the horrible violence on Capitol Hill. I've also said that what he did was wrong and inexcusable. I've used the word inexcusable because that is how I feel. We'll see. I am a juror and will keep an open mind but I think the constitutionality issue has to be addressed.

2. Chuck Schumer:

   Mitch McConnell said proudly Mitch McConnell is not Mitch McConnell. The American people want Mitch McConnell to be an impartial juror in this situation.

3. Harlan F. Stone:

   If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal offence is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant's natural god-given unalienable or constitutional rights, then it is his duty to affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all and that the violation of it is no crime at all, for no one is bound to obey an unjust law.

4. Randy Zelin:

   Give me one juror who's not convicting me regardless of the evidence. It's a mistrial. Are they really going to try me again? all you need is one juror to say, 'Listen, I need more information. They didn't give me enough information to convict this guy. Therefore, the judge said, I must acquit.'.

5. Ron DeSantis:

   One juror should not be able to veto that, i don't think justice was served in that case. If you're going to have capital [punishment], you have to administer it to the worst of the worst crimes.
