Does a district court abuse its position by failing to remove a juror or hold an evidentiary hearing to determine if she is no longer impartial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Loddy, 69 F.3d 545 (9th Cir. 1995):
The district court did not abuse its discretion by failing to remove a juror or to hold an evidentiary hearing to determine if she was so emotionally overwhelmed that she was no longer impartial. In determining whether to hold a hearing, the district court "must consider the content of the allegations, the seriousness of the alleged misconduct or bias, and the credibility of the source." United States v. Angulo, 4 F.3d 843, 847 (9th Cir.1993).
