Question
How many jurors are required?
Answer
To sit on a panel you must have 12 jurors for a criminal case ( Murder, Level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Felony). If you have a lesser criminal case such as a Level 6 Felony or a Misdemeanor offense; 6 jurors are necessary. A civil case requires 6. Generally for a 12 panel jury 36 potential jurors are asked to come in. A 6 panel jury generally results in 18 people reporting for possible service.
