I knew that it wasn't 12 for an inquest, but according to http://legal-directory.net/english-law/coroners-courts.htm it can be as few as 7 ...

The coroner sits with a jury of between seven and eleven people in cases of suspected murder, manslaughter, infanticide, suicide, poisoning, and road accidents.

So in this case, they've gone for the maximum allowed.

Thanks for that. So many people have been asking about it.

So it's 12 for a trial??
