Syllabus
<p>-Jury. Qualification. Opinion.</p> <p>In the trial of a criminal case, a juror is competent, who on his voir dire, states that while it might take evidence to remove the opinion he had, he could go into the jury box and try the case fairly and impartially according to the law and the evidence, and that what he had heard on the outside would not affect him in deciding the case, and that he could try it just as if he had never heard of the case at all.</p>
