Selected for criminal trial
A jury for a criminal trial has to go through many processes before being selected. Checks have to be made that the members of the jury are suitable for the case. The jury is made up of members of the public as this is fair as it represents the community and this way, the community get to have a say in what punishment they think defendants should be get if any. The members of the jury have to be aged between 18-70, registered on the electoral register and resident in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man for at least five years since the aged of thirteen.
