(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In criminal matters, this can involve both rendering a verdict and determining the appropriate sentence. In civil cases, the decision is whether to agree with the plaintiff or the defendent and the amount and nature of the results of the trial.
Typically, a jury must come to a unanimous decision before delivering a verdict, however there are exceptions. When a unanimous decision is not reached and the jury feels that one is not possible, they declare themselves a 'hung jury' and the trial will have to be redone at the discretion of the parties involved.
The best known dramatization of this legal process is the film, 12 Angry Men

John Locke | 1690 | Constant frequent meetings of the legislative, and long continuations of their assemblies, without necessary occasion, could not but be burdensome to the people, and must necessarily in time produce more dangerous inconveniencies, and yet the quick turn of affairs might be sometimes such as to need their present help: any delay of their convening might endanger the public; and sometimes too their business might be so great, that the limited time of their sitting might be too short for their work, and rob the public of that benefit which could be had only from their mature deliberation.
