FAQ
The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that criminal defendants have a right to a jury trial "in all criminal prosecutions." However, the Supreme Court's interpretation of this constitutional right limits the right to a jury trial only in instances where the criminal charges constitute "serious offenses.
If someone is accused of a crime, they have a right to be tried in front of a jury. A jury is made up of 12 people who are chosen at random to hear the evidence and decide if the accused is guilty or not guilty.
Unlike an impartial judge, the panel of individuals on your jury could be swayed by emotion and personal experience. This may work in your favor. If you have been overcharged for the crime in question or are a sympathetic defendant, some jurors may be more likely to back you.
Defendants generally trust that a jury will acquit or render a not guilty verdict more often (than a judge). The O.J. trial certainly validated this belief. Both the defendant and the People have the right to a jury trial in misdemeanor and felony trials (California Constitution, Article I, § 16 and Penal Code § 699).
Rule 48 - Stipulations on Jury Size and Verdict (a) Jury Size. The parties may stipulate to a jury of fewer than 8 but not fewer than 3 members, exclusive of any alternate jurors who are permitted to deliberate.
Jury works in most cases having to deal with criminal penalty because you have more people who are looking at the evidence and could help you from being subject to one lone decision.
Constitutional Amendments – Amendment 7 – “The Right to Jury Trial in Civil Affairs” Amendment Seven to the Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791. It protects the right for citizens to have a jury trial in federal courts with civil cases where the claim exceeds a certain dollar value.
In a civil trial, five out of six jurors are needed to return a verdict in favor of one party or the other. When 12 jurors deliberate in a civil trial, 10 jurors are needed to return a verdict. In a criminal case the verdict must be unanimous.
A plaintiff representing herself may obtain and fill out a prepared Complaint form from the Clerk of the Court at the courthouse or online at each county court website or by visiting . The Complaint must be filed with the Clerk of the appropriate court.
