What is a Jury? A jury consists of twelve ordinary citizens who are able to apply their common-sense to the matter of determining the guilt or innocence of someone accused of an offence.

Jurors represent diverse backgrounds and therefore, individual prejudices are likely to be neutralised. Of what importance is jury service?
