Warger v. Shauers
''Warger v. Shauers'' , was a unanimous decision by the United States Supreme Court, ruling that jurors may not testify about what occurred during jury deliberations, even to expose dishonesty during jury selection or ''voir dire''. The Court delivered its ruling on December 9, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Warger v. Shauers )〕
==Background==
Gregory Warger and Randy Shauers were involved in a traffic accident in Rapid City, South Dakota. Warger suffered severe injuries that required the amputation of his left leg. Warger then sued Shauers for negligence in a Federal District Court, but the jury reached a verdict in favor of Shauers. After the trial, one of the jurors contacted Warger's lawyer, claiming that the jury's forewoman was biased (something that was not revealed during jury selection): she talked during deliberations that her daughter was at fault in a fatal traffic accident and "that if her daughter had been sued, it would have ruined her life".〔 Warger then asked for a new trial based on the juror's statement, stating that he fulfilled the requirements of ''McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood''. Both the District Court and later the Eighth Circuit ruled that the juror's testimony about any statement made during deliberations were inadmissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 606(b).〔〔
