Jury Service

If you plea not guilty and request a jury trial, you will be set for another pre trial to speak to the prosecutor then a date for your trial will be mailed to you. On the day of court 40 to 45 of your peers will be selected to come in and be questioned by the prosecutor and you. When questioning is done 6 of your peers will be chosen to hear your court case and decide if you are guilty or not guilty. If you choose they will also set your fine amount if found guilty or you may have the court decide your fine amount. If you do have a jury trial and you are found guilty you will not have the opportunity to do either defensive driving or deferred to keep it off of your record. It will be a conviction.
