Answer:

petit jury

Step-by-step explanation:

Trials are generally public, but jury deliberations are private. Defendants have the right to appear, testify, and call witnesses on their behalf. Final outcome is a verdict, in favor of plaintiff or defendant in a civil case, or guilty/not guilty in a criminal case.
