If there are not enough jurors after challenges, which action is true?

• A. Reschedule the trial
• B. Judge may summon more jurors
• C. Dismiss the case
• D. No action is taken

Answer: (B)

When there aren’t enough potential jurors after the challenges have been exercised, the court has to take steps to complete the jury panel so the trial can proceed. The judge can issue a summons to bring in more jurors from the jury pool. This keeps the proceedings moving and ensures the defendant has a valid jury trial.

Other options don’t fit as the immediate action: rescheduling could happen in some cases, but the formal remedy to fill the panel is to summon additional jurors; dismissing the case would be inappropriate solely due to not enough jurors, and taking no action would leave the panel incomplete, which isn’t allowed for a proper trial.
