Mais colocações nominais com o termo jury - Parte 1

Na semana passada, tratamos de duas colocações na estrutura 'jury + substantivo', ambas as quais possuem alta ocorrência em inglês. Foram elas: jury duty e jury service. Entretanto, a linguagem jurídica em inglês apresenta muitas outras colocações nessa estrutura1 devido à marcante presença da instituição do júri no sistema anglo-americano.

1. jury appeal, to have - ser considerado atraente pelo júri

9. jury deliberations - deliberações do corpo de jurados

10. jury evidence - provas/indícios submetidos ao tribunal do júri

 "That, in general, grand jury evidence and testimony is not reliable because it hasn't been fully challenged by the defense."

11. jury experts - especialistas em tribunal do júri

 "But defense lawyers and jury experts said the most crucial factor in the trial may be persuading potential jurors to be candid about their attitudes toward corporate America and their feelings about Enron in particular."

12. jury foreman, jury foreperson, jury forewoman - jurado-chefe, jurado porta-voz do corpo de jurados [Não corresponde ao juiz-presidente, pois o foreman é um membro do corpo de jurados.]

 "Later, jury foreman said jurors struggled with that verdict, some of them wanting to find her guilty, but insane, which was not an option."

13. jury hearing room - sala de julgamento [do tribunal do júri]
