You might even have to decide whether the defendant injured the plaintiff if you are serving on a civil case.

A trial jury usually consists of 6-12 people. While being a juror you will attend public trials but your fellow jurors and you will do your deliberations in private. If you are serving on a criminal case then you will say guilty or not guilty. If you are serving on a civil case you are in favor of the plaintiff or defendant]]> 2016-07-15 15:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bregbe732/5zsxfrfexr8v/wish/116474725 Grand Jury bregbe732 https://padlet.com/bregbe732/5zsxfrfexr8v/wish/116475044 When you are serving on a grand jury you will determine whether there is probable cause that an individual committed the crime and should be trialed.
