This is interesting. Grand juries are usaully large..like 15 to 18 people.
Petit or trial juries are anywhere from 6 to 12 persons.
The rule is every state can decide what it wants to do but...
if it is 12 it does not have to be unanimous...it can be 11-1, 10-2, or 9-3....
If it is any less than 12 it must be unanimous.
For example North Carolina law provides a unanimous jury of 12 to all criminal defendants looking at more than 6 months in prison.
