Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hung jury is one that cannot reach a unanimous decision about the defendant's guilt. This means that there is no verdict and the case may be retried at a later date. A grand jury is a panel that determines whether sufficient evidence exists to bring someone to trial. An open jury is not a legal term. A struck jury is one that has been selected and then excused from service.
