A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Standing aside a juror is when the prosecution temporarily removes a juror from the panel without giving a reason, instead of challenging the juror or showing cause. This practice was originally used to avoid the Challenge of Jurors Act (1305), which prohibited the Crown from challenging a juror without showing cause. A similar practice was also used in Pennsylvania.

Example: During a trial, the prosecution may decide to stand aside a juror if they feel that the juror may be biased or unsuitable for the case. The prosecution can do this without giving a reason and the juror will not be able to participate in the trial. This is different from challenging a juror, where the prosecution must provide a reason for why they believe the juror should not be on the panel.

Explanation: Standing aside a juror allows the prosecution to temporarily remove a juror from the panel without having to provide a reason. This can be useful if the prosecution believes that a juror may be biased or unsuitable for the case, but does not have a specific reason to challenge them. By standing aside the juror, the prosecution can ensure that the trial is fair and impartial.
