Septicemia is a serious bloodstream infection. Itâs also known as bacteremia, or blood poisoning. Septicemia occurs when a bacterial infection elsewhere in the body, such as in the lungs or skin, enters the bloodstream. This is dangerous because the bacteria and their toxins can be carried through the bloodstream to your entire body.
Grand juries make the initial decision to indict--formally accuse--a criminal defendant and require him or her to stand trial. Grand jury indictments are required for all federal felonies. About half the states have some sort of grand jury hurdle too. Grand jurors are ordinary citizens who listen to the prosecutor questioning witnesses.
A civil trial requires only eight jurors. In municipal and county courts, where misdemeanors (a less-serious level of crime) are brought to trial, juries consist of eight persons. If a trial is expected to last more than one day, alternate jurors may be selected in case a juror must be excused during the trial.Unlike the petit jury, a grand jury hears evidence about alleged crimes (usually felonies), and only decides whether or not a person should be indicted and tried for committing a crime. civil trial requires only eight jurors.
