In Re Abelino Manriquez on Habeas Corpus.

Summary

The court denied habeas corpus relief on the claim that the jury foreperson committed prejudicial misconduct by failing to disclose childhood physical and sexual abuse during jury selection. Although the nondisclosure constituted misconduct, the court concluded it was inadvertent and that the record did not show a substantial likelihood that the foreperson was actually biased against petitioner. The court therefore discharged the order to show cause.
