A quick definition of fair and impartial jury:

A fair and impartial jury is a group of people chosen by the law to decide if someone is guilty or not. They listen to the evidence and make a decision based only on what they hear in court. It's important that the jury doesn't have any opinions about the case before they start and that they only use the facts presented in court to make their decision. Everyone deserves a fair and impartial jury to make sure justice is served.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A fair and impartial jury is a group of individuals selected according to the law and given the power to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in the case submitted to them. They must have no opinion about the case at the start of the trial and base their verdict on competent legal evidence.

Examples:

  • Impartial Jury: A jury that has no bias or prejudice towards either party in a trial. They must be fair and unbiased in their decision-making process.
  • Petit Jury: A jury consisting of 6 or 12 individuals summoned and empaneled in the trial of a specific case. They are responsible for deciding the outcome of the case based on the evidence presented to them.
  • Grand Jury: A jury that determines whether there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against a defendant. They do not determine guilt or innocence, but rather whether there is probable cause to proceed with a trial.

These examples illustrate the definition of a fair and impartial jury by showing the different types of juries that exist and their specific roles in the legal system. Regardless of the type of jury, they must be unbiased and make their decision based on the evidence presented to them.
