Well see when someone is on trial they are questioned and the questions start to build up and it is up to the jury to make the decision. The two reasons are thatif the jury is not convinced with the case then there is no more case but if they are convinced then it is a win win for everybody.
The 7th amendment gives a citizen the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases, and prevents courts from overturning a jury's findings of fact. It also guarantees a minimum of 6 members for a jury in a civil trial.
Please tell me a bit more about the question you want answered. Perhaps you are looking for the text of of the 6th Amendment which guarantees "... a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury ..." The Constitution does not specifically promise a trial by jury consisting of the defendant's peers, but does oblige the legal system to do all it can to make sure the jury has no prejudice against the accused.
Evidence is a key factor in deciding whether a person is guilty of a serious crime. Ultimately, a judge and jury will decide the punishment.
Citizens are involved in the judicial branch by participating in a case in lower courts (for example, serving in jury duty) and to pick whose testimony to believe. Based on that decision, citizens may then choose who is guilty and who is not, deciding the outcome of the trial or suit.
