a group of citizens deciding a verdict in a trial
⚠️ The trap
Italy rarely uses citizen juries in criminal trials (only for serious crimes at Corte d'Assise). Most Italian trials are decided by professional judges alone. English speakers expect jury trials to be the norm, but they are the exception in Italy.
To say "a group of citizens deciding a verdict in a trial" in Italian:
giuria
"giuria" in English means:
a jury; also a panel of judges (at competitions)
Example
"La giuria ha deliberato per tre ore."
"The jury deliberated for three hours."
