Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hung jury is a jury that cannot come to a unanimous decision about the defendant's guilt. The other options are not correct. An open jury is not a recognized term in the legal system. A grand jury is a type of jury that decides whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a criminal trial, but they do not decide guilt or innocence. A struck jury is a term that refers to a jury that has been dismissed by the court, usually because of some irregularity in the selection process.
