Whats the difference between a jury and a grand jury?
The difference between a jury and a grandy jury are quite significant. A grand jurys function is to get a presentation from the prosecution (who initiates the grand jury) and then a panel of public citizens decides whether or not they think the prosecution has enough evidence to warrant a jury trial. Usually a grand jury always rubber stamps what the prosecution presents, thus you usually always get the ok for a trial. Now, a regular jury of course decides if the defendant is innocent or guilty. If they’re innocent, so be it. If their guilty, in some states these same jurors also debate the defendants sentence and some states, the judge decides, but those are the two differences!
