Was it in the USA? I'm surprised there would be a jury on a theft case. Where I am from, I heard jury are limited to criminal courts where the minimal case is something like manslaughter.
- mikeash 8y agoYes, in the US. The Constitution guarantees the right to a jury trial for any “serious” offense, which apparently means anything where the potential sentence is greater than six months. Individual states can grant the right to a jury trial for lesser offenses as well if they wish.
