Syllabus

<p>CRIMINAL LAW-DISQUALIFICATION OF JUROR.</p> <p>1. If a juror in a criminal case, questioned on his voir dire, answers falsely as to his qualifications, defendant, ascertaining this fact for the first time after verdict, can urge disqualification as ground for a new trial, but he cannot do so if he has failed to interrogate him on the subject. He cannot urge as ground for reversal that it was the duty of the state officials to have protected him against the serving-on the jury of a disqualified juror by reason of his having been defended only by counsel assigned by the court.
