Selection and role in the criminal trial of the jury The focus of this task lies in its choice of jury and its role in criminal trials. The jury is also considered to decide the pros and cons of the outcome of the criminal procedure. The jury was randomly selected by the computer using the name on the voter list. The jury consists of twelve people from all walks of life that are legally unqualified The jury plays an important role in the legal system.

The jury's right to be tried in a criminal case is guaranteed by the sixth amendment of the US Constitution and the laws of each state. Lawyers and judges choose juries through a program called "voir dire" in the Latin "to tell the truth". In the "case" case, both the judge and the lawyer asked the potential jury to decide whether they are eligible and appropriate for the service of the affair. The jury's in-choice mistake is a common reason for criminal prosecution

The jury is at the center of the American justice system. In all serious criminal cases, the accused has the right to be tried by the jury representative of the defendant community. This kind of jury is a trial or a jury, but there is a big grand jury. Everyone plays a specific role in the justice system. All US citizens over the age of 18 and residents of jurisdictions summoned for service are all qualified as juries. Those qualified to become juries are exempt from service only if they are considered mentally incompetent or mentally disorganized, or if convicted judgment is not restored I will.

In recent years, in addition to the historical role in the UK legal system, jury trials are being attacked. The government attempted to reduce the use of the jury in criminal cases to save money. The criminal law of 1977 eliminated the right to hear a jury by several crimes because most auto crime and comparatively minor criminal case litigation is abstract. Since 1977, more and more cases have been removed from the jury's trail and are used only as an abstract. The criminal justice law can be increased to 18 months by raising the judgment power of the magistrate from 6 months to 12 months from a single crime and by approving the law. The aim behind this is not to be submitted to the criminal court to hear the expensive jury but to hear more cases in the court. Another step to reduce the number of jury trials is that even in the Criminal Justice Act of 2003 the judge's trial is only allowed in the Royal Court in the following two cases.
