　　In the United States everyone has the right to have a trial (审判) by jury(陪审团). If a person is charged with a crime(罪行) he says he did not do. He may have a trial. He is brought before a jury made up of twelve people. The members of the jury listen to facts about the crime. They decide whether the person is guilty(有罪的) or not guilty.

　　Long ago in England, people did not have trials by jury. Other ways were used to find whether or not a person was guilty.

　　A man might have a“trial by fire”. A piece of iron was heated and placed in his hand. He held the hot iron and took three steps. Then his hand was wrapped up. At the end of three days, the hard was unwrapped. If the hand was well, the man was set free. If the hand still hurt, the man was guilty.

　　In the 1100s, trial by jury began in England. Under King Henry Ⅱ, the first juries were chosen. Slowly, trials by fire became less common. A trial by jury was a better way to decide who was guilty and who was not guilty.
