The jury box is a designated area within a courtroom where the jurors sit during a trial. Jurors are selected from the community to listen to evidence presented by both the prosecution and defence and ultimately render a verdict based on the facts presented and the instructions provided by the judge. The jury box is typically located near the judge’s bench and is arranged to allow all jurors to see and hear the proceedings clearly. It plays a crucial role in the trial process, ensuring that defendants receive a fair and impartial trial by a jury of their peers.
