People v. Linton

In People v. Linton (2013) 56 Cal.4th 1146, a juror vented to her husband about the case, did not tell him the facts of the case, expressed confusion over something in the case, and told the court her husband did not respond to her comments. The juror told the court that she could be a fair and impartial juror. The defendant in Linton posited that the juror was lying. The Supreme Court held that the juror's "venting" to her husband and her confusion did not amount to misconduct. (Id. at p. 1195.)
