Document Summary

Plan for today: role of jury, characteristics of jury, bias, solutions. When do we use a jury: summary offences, indictable offences, hybrid offences, only in more serious court cases. Summary conviction offence: less serious than indictable offences, must be charged within 6 months, don"t need a warrant, do not have to submit fingerprints, eligible for pardon after 3 years. Indictable offence: most serious offences, no time limit on charges, do need a warrant, fingerprints, right to a jury if punishable by 5 years or more, eligible for pardon after 5 years. Hybrid offences: fall in between summary and indictable, crown chooses mode of prosecution, if indictable, defendant has choice of jury, in summary, no right to jury. Trials: civil trials mostly go with judge only trials, in criminal cases that go to court about are resolved without a trial (plea guilty)
