What is the test for "good cause" in the context of a motion for a new trial based on juror misconduct?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Martin, E063693 (Cal. App. 2017):
"Good cause, in the context of a petition for disclosure to support a motion for a new trial based on juror misconduct, requires 'a sufficient showing to support a reasonable belief that jury misconduct occurred. . . .'" (People v. Cook (2015) 236 Cal.App.4th 341, 345-346.) "Good cause does not exist where the allegations of jury misconduct are speculative, conclusory, vague, or unsupported." (Id. at p. 346.)
