 At some point in their adult lives, most Americans will be called to report for jury duty.  Do you think you would enjoy sitting on a jury, or would it feel like a chore?  On what type of case would you most like to serve as a juror? Explain your answers in a paragraph or two.

 Read to Page 20 in 12 Angry Men: Download and answer Study Guide Questions/

 1. How is a person selected for Jury Service?  2. How frequently can a person serve on a jury?  3. Are jury members paid? If so, how so?  4. Do you think a Jury system could work in Turkey? Why or why not?

 Foreman: a juror chosen to lead a jury and deliver the verdict to the judge.

 Convict: to find the defendant guilty of the crime  Acquit—to find the defendant innocent

 Reasonable Doubt: This is the element in law that states that if some uncertainty exists, a juror must vote to acquit. Because jurors were not there to see the crime, they cannot be one hundred percent certain who is guilty; however, even without being certain, they may vote to convict if they believe the defendant committed the crime. If they have a real question in their minds as to the defendant's guilt or innocence, this is “reasonable doubt,” and they should vote to acquit.

 Innocent until proven guilty: a fundamental principal of law that means the state must prove guilt; the suspect does not have to prove innocence.

 The Fifth Amendment: a fundamental principle of law which states that a person cannot be forced to testify against him or herself in a court of law.

 Double Jeopardy: a fundamental principle of law that states that a person cannot be tried twice for the same crime; this means that if a defendant is acquitted, that person cannot be tried again for the same crime, even if evidence arises that proves that person's guilt.

 C ross-examine: to question a witness by the opposing counsel  Deliberate: to consider or discuss carefully  Premeditated: planned or plotted in advance.

 Homicide: the killing of one person by another

 Hung Jury: lack of agreement among jurors when instructed that a unanimous decision is required; a hung jury would require a retrial.

 In Pairs: Log onto Haiku: Click on the link, labelled “Make Your Case” and put a pair of headphones into your computer that can be split between two people and follow the prompts on screen.  One of you will be the lawyer for the defendant, and one of you will be a lawyer for the plaintiff.
