In response to the court's instruction, as well as subsequent voir dire by the petitioner's trial counsel, the juror represented that his misunderstanding had been corrected, and that he had not shared his incorrect assumption with other jurors. The petition-er's trial attorneys stated that they were satisfied with the juror's responses, and, thus, they did not request that he be excused. At the habeas trial, the court, New-son, J., granted the motion in limine filed by the respondent, the Commissioner of Correction, to preclude the juror's testimony over the petitioner's objection. The habeas court ultimately denied the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, but granted the petition for certification to appeal. This appeal followed.
