noun

Etymology: From Middle English jurour, jurrour, borrowed from Anglo-Norman jurour and Old French jureor, from the verb jurer (“to swear”), or possibly from Latin iūrātor, iūrātōrem, whence the English doublet jurator.

  1. A member of a jury.

    While unfailingly courteous to the jury, he could be quite sharp with counsel and witnesses, and rattle his sabre at the press: his first reported words in the case were that any journalist thinking of interviewing a juror 'had better bring a toothbrush'.

    The jurors listened carefully while Eidem portrayed Fern Sankey as an archconspirator who drove her husband into crime and was intimately involved in all major details of Charlie Boettcher's abduction.
