#4: Can a juror's questions about the burden of proof lead to juror misconduct?  

We analyze the juror misconduct issues in the case of Woods v. State, 2018 WL 4776185 (Nev. Sept. 21, 2018).

The issues we’re going to discuss are: the burden of proof in juror misconduct cases & evidence involving objective facts, a juror’s state of mind, & the deliberative process, the presumption that the jury follows instructions, and the fact that there is no prejudice when the parties agree on how the trial court should respond to juror questions during deliberations.
