Respuesta :
Answer: a. indict
b. the death penalty
Explanation:
Grand Jury is made up of between 16 to 23 people and decides if a suspect should be put on trial. The suspect is indicted if there is probable cause. During the legal proceedings involving a grand jury, the public, defendants and their legal counsel are not present.
Trial Jury or a petit jury is made up of between 6 to 12 people and decide on a guilty or not-guilty verdict after listening to legal counsel argue for or against a defendant.
Death penalty or capital punishment is allowed in some states including Texas. It is reserved for the gravest crimes like capital homicide which includes murder for hire. However, there are also cases where defendants have been wrongly convicted and freed while awaiting the death penalty. Could you imagine if they had already been executed?
Answer:
(a) Grand juries are responsible for deciding whether to indict a suspect.
(b) Trial by one's peers is a constitutional right, but it is an imperfect system that can lead to wrongful convictions. This fact is especially problematic in a state like Texas that may impose the death penalty.
Explanation:
(a) Indict
- There are two kinds of juries in Texas: Trial juries and Grand juries
Trial Jury
- A trial jury, otherwise called a petit jury, chooses whether the respondent carried out the wrongdoing as charged in a criminal case, or regardless of whether the litigant harmed the offended party in a common cause.
- The trial jury consists of 6-12 individuals.
- Trials are for the most part open, yet jury considerations are private.
- Defendants reserve the privilege to show up, affirm, and call observers for their sake.
- The final result is a decision, for the offended party or respondent in a common cause, or blameworthy/not liable in a criminal case.
Grand Jury
- A grand jury is given proof from the U.S. lawyer, the investigator in government criminal cases.
- The grand jury decides if there is "reasonable justification" to accept the individual has perpetrated wrongdoing and ought to be put being investigated. In the event that the excellent jury decides there is sufficient proof, the prosecution will be given against the litigant.
- Consists of 16-23 individuals.
- Grand jury procedures are not open to the general population.
- Defendants and their lawyers don't reserve the privilege to show up before the grand jury.
(b) Death Penalty
- Texas drives the country in the number of executions since capital punishment was restored in 1976.
- There are five techniques for execution in the United States: deadly infusion, electric shock, deadly gas, hanging, and terminating crew.
- In 2020, the State of Texas executed three individuals, the least executions since 1996.
- Under Texas law, executions are done at or after 6 p.m.
