grand juror

Read a random definition: personal tort

A quick definition of grand juror:

A grand juror is a person who serves on a grand jury, which is a group of people who decide whether there is enough evidence to bring someone to trial. They are different from petit jurors, who serve on trial juries. The presiding juror is the one who leads the jury during deliberations and announces the verdict in court. A stealth juror is someone who hides their biases or conflicts of interest in order to serve on a jury, which is not allowed. A tales-juror is someone who is called in to serve on a jury when there aren't enough jurors available.

A more thorough explanation:

A grand juror is a person who serves on a grand jury. A grand jury is a group of people who listen to evidence presented by a prosecutor to determine if there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against someone. A grand juror is different from a petit juror, who serves on a trial jury.

John was selected to serve as a grand juror for the county. He listened to evidence presented by the prosecutor and helped decide if there was enough evidence to bring criminal charges against the defendant.

Another example could be:

Mary was called to serve as a grand juror for a case involving a robbery. She listened to witness testimony and examined evidence to determine if there was enough evidence to bring charges against the suspect.

These examples illustrate the definition of a grand juror by showing how they are responsible for listening to evidence and making decisions about whether or not to bring criminal charges against someone.
