This legal document argues that the court incorrectly applied Federal Rule of Evidence 606 to block an inquiry into statements made by Juror 50 to journalists. The author contends that because the juror voluntarily broadcast his experiences and role in the deliberations to convict Maxwell, the rule's purpose of protecting jurors from harassment is not applicable in this specific instance. The document cites 'Tanner v. United States' as precedent for the rationale behind the rule.
