Raymond Baker v. United States
DueProcess Privacy
Whether a district court must permit inquiry into alleged juror misconduct
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether, as a means of protecting a defendant’s rights to due process and a fair and impartial jury, the Court should clarify whether, when a defense lawyer receives unsolicited information from a juror, post-verdict, alleging serious juror misconduct, a district court must permit additional inquiry to determine whether the misconduct involves bias, extraneous information or outside influences which are properly the subject of examination. 2. Whether, to ensure that, consistent with due process, guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the Court should require corroboration when a conviction is based solely on accomplice testimony. i
