ATHENIAN TRIAL BY JURY Well-developed by 5 th -century BCE. Emerged from reforms of Solon and right to appeal an archon’s verdict to a citizen body called the eliaia. Juries selected by lot from the entire citizen body. List of 6,000 potential jurors for the year was drawn up. Sizes of jury ranged from 200 to +1000 men. Each juror paid three obols a day.
THE VERDICT At the end of the litigants’ speeches, the jury voted at once, without further advice or deliberation. The majority decided the verdict. The method of voting was by placing pebbles, or later bronze disks, in urns for conviction or acquittal; various devices enabled a juror to conceal which way he voted. For some offences the penalty was laid down by law, but in other cases the penalty of the amount of damages had to be decided by the jury. <strong>In</strong> such cases, when the guilty verdict had been given against the defendant, the prosecutor proposed a penalty and the defendant proposed another. The jury voted again to decide between them.
