THE JURY
The juryis the main element in criminal trials in the Crown court, being responsible for deciding questions of fact. The jury consists of 12 jurors, chosen by lot from the waiting group of some 30 names, before the start of a criminal trial. Both the prosecution and the defence can reject up to seven of them. (For some kinds of case defending counsel reject people who look too severe or even too soberly dressed). Also, any juror who knows anything about the accused person or the case must be replaced by another. Both the judge and the jury must try the case only on evidence immediately relevant to it.
The chosen jury then listens to the evidence given at the trial and gives its verdict on the facts after having been isolated in a separate room for its deliberations. Until 1967 the verdict had to be unanimous. But now the judge will accept a majority verdict after the jury has deliberated for more than two hours, provided that there are no more than 2 dissenters in the normal jury of 12. The jury does not fix the punishment or sentence, which is the prerogative of the judge.
The jury system is good since it is the ordinary citizen's link with the legal process; the jury safeguards individual liberty and justice because a common-sense decision either to punish or to acquit is taken by fellow citizens rather than by professionals.

A TRIAL
A person accused of a crime, when he is brought into the court, is asked by the clerk if he is guilty or not. If he says that he is not guilty, he must be tried in order to establish whether he is in fact guilty or not. For this purpose a jury has to be appointed. About thirty citizens whose names were chosen randomly out of the list of local residents (male or female householders) will be sitting in a special room of the courthouse being ready to serve as members of juries. From this group twelve will be called out to be the jury for the particular case. Both the prosecution and the defence may object to any person who is called out for the jury. When the jury is in its place (the jury box), the trial begins.

If the accused has pleaded guilty, then no trial is necessary, and the court can go straight to deciding on his punishment. Before the judge pronounces the sentence, a police witness gives evidence about any previous convictions of the prisoner, and also about his character as far as the police knew anything about it. The prisoner may speak too, and others may speak on his behalf. A person may appeal to the Court of Appeal against conviction or sentence.
If a person is found guilty of a small offence and has no previous convictions, he may receive no punishment at all, but be told that if he does wrong again the first offence will be taken into account along with the next. Or he may be placed on probation under the supervision of a probation officer, who is a trained, professional social worker.
