The following excerpt is from Cabrera v. Allison, 1:09-cv-01543 AWI MJS HC (E.D. Cal. 2012):
Petitioner claims that the jury foreman failed to disclose his bias. He bases his allegation on the foreman's expression of surprise that he had been selected despite the fact that he had been the victim of a robbery and based on his statement "Why would I vote not guilty?".9
