A quick definition of juryman:

Term: JURYMAN

Definition: A person who serves on a group of people called a jury. The jury listens to evidence in a trial and decides if someone is guilty or not guilty. There are different types of jurors, such as grand jurors who decide if there is enough evidence to go to trial, and petit jurors who decide the final verdict. The presiding juror is the one who leads the jury during their discussions and announces the final decision. Sometimes, there may be a stealth juror who hides their true feelings or intentions in order to be on the jury. A tales-juror is someone who is chosen from the community to be on a jury if there aren't enough people available from the regular jury pool.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person who serves on a jury panel. This term is archaic and has been replaced by the gender-neutral term "juror."

Examples:

  • Grand juror: A person serving on a grand jury, which decides whether there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against someone.
  • Petit juror: A trial juror, who decides whether someone is guilty or not guilty of a crime.
  • Presiding juror: The juror who chairs the jury during deliberations and speaks for the jury in court by announcing the verdict. This person is usually elected by the jury at the start of deliberations.
  • Stealth juror: A juror who hides a potentially disqualifying bias or conflict of interest in order to serve on a jury. This can be for various reasons, such as wanting to influence the outcome of the trial or planning to reap a financial benefit from having inside access to the jury deliberations.
  • Tales-juror: A person who is summoned to serve on a jury panel but is not selected to serve on a particular jury. This term is also archaic and has been replaced by the term "talesman."

These examples illustrate the different types of jurors and their roles in the legal system. Grand jurors and petit jurors serve different functions in the criminal justice system, while the presiding juror is responsible for leading the jury's deliberations. A stealth juror can undermine the fairness of a trial by hiding their biases or conflicts of interest. A tales-juror is someone who is summoned for jury duty but is not ultimately selected to serve on a jury.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
