JURY-EVIDENCE-PRIVILEGE OF JURY DELIBERATIONS

Authors

Abstract

The extent to which affidavits of jurors anent proceedings in the jury room can be used, when not aimed at impeaching their verdict, is a question upon which there is little affirmative authority. The law seems clear since Bushell's case that a juror cannot be punished for his finding of fact; what is more, his vote within the jury room as well as his debates seem to be privileged absolutely on grounds of policy.
