CRIMINAL LAW--POST CONVICTION RELIEF--JUROR MISCONDUCT. The Court set forth the standard for evaluating claims of juror misconduct based on the juror's nondisclosure of information on voir dire. To be entitled on post conviction relief in such cases there must be a showing of actual juror bias against the defendant, and that the juror's misconduct resulted in the defendant being denied the constitutional right to an impartial jury. A juror's mistaken but honest answer to a question will not warrant post conviction relief.
