In France, juries are involved only for cases defined as "Crimes" (the American equivalent would be felony, but it's much more restrictive), such as murder and rape, especially violent thefts and war crimes. And even in these cases, their role is much less important than in the US for two reasons :

* the 6 jurors (9 in appeal) decide the case alongside 3 professional judges whose influence is often decisive during the jury's deliberation (and in any case they always carry 3 votes)

* there's no need for an unanimous decision: 6 votes are necessary for any conviction (8 in appeal)
