A quick definition of juror misconduct:

Juror misconduct refers to when a juror does something wrong during a trial or when they are discussing the case with other people. This can include talking to people who are not supposed to be involved, bringing in information that is not allowed, or doing experiments outside of the courtroom. It is important for jurors to follow the rules so that the trial is fair and just.

A more thorough explanation:

Juror misconduct refers to a juror's violation of the court's instructions or the law during a trial or deliberations after a trial. Examples of juror misconduct include:

  • Communicating about the case with outsiders, witnesses, attorneys, bailiffs, or judges
  • Bringing into the jury room information relating to the case but not in evidence
  • Conducting experiments regarding theories of the case outside the court's presence

These actions can compromise the fairness of a trial and lead to a mistrial or overturned verdict.

For example, if a juror discusses the case with someone outside of the jury, they may be influenced by that person's opinions or information that was not presented in court. This can lead to a biased decision that does not accurately reflect the evidence presented in court.
