Summary

This legal document details the testimony of Juror 50 regarding an inaccurate answer he provided on a jury questionnaire. Juror 50 claims the error was an "inadvertent mistake" caused by skimming the question too quickly and being distracted by the environment in the courthouse. The document contrasts the juror's explanation with the defendant's legal argument that the juror's actions satisfy the first prong of the McDonough test for juror dishonesty.
