What is the difference between being selected for grand jury or serving as a petit juror?
A. Grand jurors meet two (2) days a week and serve for a period of four (4) months. They are responsible for reviewing the testimony and evidence in the case to determine if there is sufficient information to indict (or charge) the accused. Petit jurors, on the other hand, determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant in criminal cases as well as determine the liability and damages of the parties in civil cases.
