MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Mitchell, 568 F.3d 1147 (9th Cir. 2009):
The Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial guarantees the criminally accused a fair trial by a panel of impartial jurors. Id. at 973. Even if only one juror is unduly biased or prejudiced, the defendant is denied this constitutional guarantee. Id.; see also United States v. Plache, 913 F.2d 1375, 1377 (9th Cir.1990) ("It is well-settled that a single partial juror deprives
[568 F.3d 1151]
a defendant of his Sixth Amendment right to a trial by an impartial jury").
