The document cites various legal precedents (Greer, McDonough) to discuss the legal standards for juror bias and the necessity of a new trial.
This document is a page from a legal filing dated February 24, 2022, which analyzes legal precedent concerning juror bias, specifically from the case of McDonough. It presents quotes from concurring opinions by Justice Blackmun and Justice Brennan, arguing that an intentionally false answer from a juror is not a necessary condition for a new trial and that juror bias can be inferred from circumstances. The document highlights the judicial reasoning that a trial court retains the option to hold a post-trial hearing to determine bias, regardless of a juror's honesty during voir dire.
