Answer:

That statement is False

Step-by-step explanation:

The involvement of local citizens to form a jury during trial was first used By English court in 1641. At the time, this was known as the The Star Chamber. This chamber was created to prevent high ranking nobles from influencing the outcome of the trial.

King Charles II ruled England between 1649 -1651.

So, we can conclude that this chamber was not created during the reign of King Charles II It's created during his father's reign.
