So, a trial starts with 12.

At what point can a trial proceed with 11, should a juror have to be excused?

An hour in?

A day in?

Once a certain procedural step has been passed?
It's up to the judge, it's not about time either. Some criminal cases are fairly short. 11 in the minimum to proceed. But if things had only just got going the Judge would dismiss the Jury and schedule a new trial with a new panel. In general, they prefer to continue, due to the costs.
 
It would depend on the length of, complexity of, and how much the case had already progressed through that process.

are all boll@x.
This is the only pertinent discussion.
And already resolved with eminent opinion.

A trial starts with twelve jurors

A jury trial will always start with twelve jurors. The trial can’t start with fewer jurors.

There are many reasons, however, leading to a trial not always finishing with twelve. Jurors may become sick and be unable to return. In some rare cases they may be removed from a jury due to some misconduct during the trial. As long as the number of jurors does not fall below nine then a lawful verdict can be reached.

Twelve to start surely, and as low as 3 to finish because then there cant be a hung jury. Nothing in wiki about it so must be fudges decision.
 
Moving on..

We have
Only a few people believe the misinformation of only 11 people being on the jury..

Filly and you, everybody else wants the facts, not the fillyfacts
Most people think it’s irrelevant.

A few forum idiots think it wasn’t 11.
