When a defendant forfeited his claim of jury misconduct by failing to produce juror information at the conclusion of a trial, can the jury be questioned post-verdict?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Cooper, F069389 (Cal. App. 2016):
Since defendant forfeited his claim of jury misconduct, there was no need for any postverdict questioning of jurors concerning such alleged misconduct. Hence, there was no need for juror information to conduct such questioning. (People v. Carrasco, supra, 163 Cal.App.4th at p. 991.) The trial court properly refused to unseal juror information.
The judgment is affirmed.
