Question

By Australian law, how are the jury members picked in a criminal trial? And what is the role of the jury?

Answer 1

there are 12 on a jury in a criminal case and their role is to consider the evidence and decide if the person is guilty or not after instruction on legal points by the judge

Answer 2

The jury members for a criminal trial are picked from a panel from a list of those available and required for jury duty, this panel is changed monthly, both prosecution and defence have a limited number of objections to a member being on the jury without reason, after the jury has been selected they are then charged to regard the evidence, as a 'reasonable man', and with legal assistance from the Judge decide on the guilt or innocence of the accused. It is called trial by a jury of peers.
