	Petit juror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with jury.
		A petit juror is a term used in United States law to describe a member of the petit jury, the jury that hears a trial.
		This is in contrast to a grand jury that hears only testimony and evidence to determine whether there is a case to be answered and hence whether the accused should be indicted and sent for trial.

	Grand Jury Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Nearly all grand jurors who responded to the exit questionnaire indicated that they were provided with a grand juror handbook, and approximately three-quarters of the grand jurors indicated that it contained an adequate explanation of the grand jury process.
		While some jurors praised the handbook and explanations they received, among the more troubling criticisms that the Committee heard from others who responded to the exit questionnaires, wrote letters or testified at the public hearing was that they did not fully understand their purpose and function.
		By contrast, all grand jurors who remain for service actually serve on the grand jury, and even though they receive detailed information from the prosecutor for each specific case, it is important that they receive a basic grounding at the beginning of their service.
