U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3443
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case. Even assuming the jury's fracking and earthquake discussions
included any extraneous matters under Rule 606(b)(2)(A), defendant has not
shown a reasonable possibility that the discussions prejudiced it or
altered the verdict, and the district court did not err in denying
defendant's motion for a new trial; the district court did not abuse its
discretion by refusing to subpoena the jury foreman.
