A quick definition of presiding juror:

A presiding juror is the person who leads and speaks for the jury during their discussions and announces the final decision in court. They are usually elected by the other jurors at the beginning of the deliberation process. Other types of jurors include grand jurors, who serve on a grand jury, and petit jurors, who serve on a trial jury. A stealth juror is someone who hides their biases or conflicts of interest in order to serve on a jury, while a tales-juror is a person who is summoned to serve on a jury as a replacement for someone who cannot fulfill their duty.

A more thorough explanation:

A presiding juror is a member of a jury who is elected by the other jurors to lead the deliberations and speak for the jury in court by announcing the verdict. They are also known as a foreman or foreperson.

For example, in a criminal trial, the presiding juror would be responsible for leading the discussion among the jurors and making sure everyone has a chance to express their opinion. Once a verdict is reached, the presiding juror would announce it in court.

It's important to note that the presiding juror does not have any more power or influence than the other jurors. They are simply responsible for facilitating the discussion and communicating the verdict.
