Trial by Jury
Trial by Jury is a legal process where a group of people, known as jurors, is selected to hear evidence and make a decision in a court case. This system is designed to ensure that justice is administered fairly and that the verdict reflects the community's values. Jurors listen to testimonies, review evidence, and deliberate before reaching a conclusion about the defendant's guilt or innocence.
In many countries, including the United States, the right to a trial by jury is a fundamental legal principle. It serves as a safeguard against potential abuses of power by the government and helps to uphold the rule of law. The jury's decision is typically based on the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt" in criminal cases.
