The correct option to the question is option B: Juries have a random selection from the general population
Juries have a random selection from the general population and this is a very important point to take into consideration. A jury is a group of citizens assigned a court case who will participate in the trial and reach a verdict. They will decide whether the defendant is guilty or not from committing a crime.
It's important that the members of the jury are selected at random so that any partiality can be prevented. Before each potential member of a jury is assigned a case, they go through a<u> process of selection</u>. During this process the lawyers from each party will ask them questions in order to rule out any person who show signs of prejudice.
<u>The jury is expected to be impartial and only be influenced by true evidence presented in court.</u> Once the trial is over, the jury will have to reach a verdict, sometimes unanimously.
The amount of members of the jury may vary depending on the law covering the case, but it usually consists of around 12 members.
