Define, compare, and contrast petit juries with grand juries
What will be an ideal response?
Petit (or trial) juries are for the purpose of determining guilt or innocence, and in
some states determine punishment. Grand juries are for the purpose of returning
indictments or conducting investigations of reported criminality. They differ in size
and in how members are selected. Petit juries are created for one case, where
grand juries may serve for a month or longer.
