There are two types of juries serving different functions in the federal trial courts: trial juries, also known as petit juries, and grand juries.
Attorneys ask questions of potential jurors to determine juror attitudes, biases, and their ability to truly be an impartial juror. The attorneys will inquire about you personally, and will also ask questions about your friends, families, and acquaintances.
There are two kinds of juries in Texas: petit juries and grand juries. In criminal cases, a petit jury is selected to serve in a particular trial in order to decide on the defendant's guilt or innocence.
When the plaintiff picks jurors, they're looking for those who are very sympathetic, who are willing to view the prosecution as the victim in the case. Very often, union employees make for good prosecution jurors as they are used to fighting injustice.
Mistrial. If the jury cannot reach an unanimous verdict, the judge can declare a mistrial.If the prosecutor improperly brings up the criminal conviction, the judge will probably declare a mistrial. When a trial ends in a mistrial, the state may usually try the defendant again.
In voir dire, you should ask questions about jurors' attitudes and beliefs. You want to ask about people's views on government regulations, corporations and jury damage awards. Ask questions in such a way that the people who raise their hands are the jurors you who will ultimately disagree with your case.
Questions to Ask Your Lawyer How does the judge in my case conduct jury selection? Can you do Internet research on potential jurors? Who would make the best juror in my case? What type of juror does opposing counsel want?
If two or more defendants are tried together each defendant shall be entitled to six peremptory challenges and the State to six for each defendant.
Relevant Life Experiences. In selecting (or de-selecting) a potential juror, one important element to consider is the person's previous life experience as it relates to the case at hand. Social Pressure. Online Activity. Legal Opinions. Ability to Be Impartial.
