juror

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'panellist' is the first definition.
(I know that juror is a type of panellist)

'trial' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for juror that I've seen before include "Court panellist" , "Trial panellist" , "person to deliver verdict" , "One in box in court" , "One of those responsible for verdict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
