what is the main job/role in the courtroom as jury
The Role of the Jury. IN a jury trial, the judge represents the letter of the law as voted by legislators and interpreted by the highest court of the land, and also considers the precedents of other court decisions. The prosecutor represents the interests of the society and the judicial system. The defense counsel represents the interests of the accused. But it is the jury that judges the validity of the law, its intent, and the guilt or innocence of the accused. A juror has the responsibility to vote his convictions, no matter what the other jurors vote.
