- ruling case was not “one of those exceptional situations where, because of the relationship between the juror and the witness, bias can be implied as a matter of law.”
- “If the judge finds that the juror answered voir dire questions mistakenly, but honestly, the analysis as to actual bias ends, and the judge must find the juror impartial.”
