Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Coram Nobis — Not Available — False Statements of Juror on His Voir Dire. A writ of error cora/m nobis will not lie from a judgment of conviction in a felony case because one of the jurors made false statements concerning his qualifications, although it is alleged that the defendant had no knowledge of the false statements and could not discover that they were false until after sentence had been pronounced.</p> <p>2. Same. That a juror gave false answers concerning his prejudice against a defendant on trial in a felony case is not a fact which, if it had been known to the court, would have prevented a verdict of guilty and judgment thereon, although a new trial might- have been compelled if the matter had been presented to the court in a motion therefor.</p>
