Yes. It depends on the state and the type of case. Since this was a civil trial a 10 person jury is correct.



Given that this was a Federal case, the jury size would not depend upon the state, nor would it depend upon the type of case insofar as we're talking about civil cases. Except where defined by statute, the size of a state court jury in a civil case is decided entirely by agreement between the judge and the parties.
