US Law Only - WHEN POSTING A QUESTION, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE NAME OF YOUR STATE

Plus we don't do homework here.

The Immigration Forum relates to US Immigration Law.

well, here in the states, in criminal trials, it is required to be without a shadow of doubt....so it has to be unanimous....all members of the jury must agree.

Thank you for clearing this up for me Bay Honey.

In our Immigration Forum we have many who post for US Immigration Laws, that are outside the USA.

Thank you too Zigner.

Not in what is referred to as a "Kangaroo" court. However, to serve on a jury in Kangaroo court in the US, you need first have a jury convict you of a felony, by unanimous findings of guilt. Then you are sentenced, shipped off to prison and shortly thereafter, you may become eligible to participate in a Kangaroo court.

However, in Australia it is probably much easier to find yourself tangled up in a Kangaroo situation than here in the US. Since kangaroo courts are actually illegal, unless maybe you happen have kangaroo DNA running through your veins,,,,,, but I imagine that too is probably more common in Australia.
