McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwoodgreen2 sentences2015Finally, the court concluded a new trial was not required under McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood (1984) 464 U.S. 548, 555-556 (McDonough), which addresses the effect of a juror’s untruthful response during voir dire where a truthful response would have provided a valid basis for a challenge for cause. 1997Instead, in order to gain a new trial, “a party must first demonstrate that a juror failed to answer honestly a material question on voir dire, and then further show that a correct response would have provided a valid basis for a challenge for cause.” (Id. at p. 556 [78 L.Ed.2d at pp. 671-672] (plur. opn. of Rehnquist, J.).) Justice Blackmun, joined by Justices Stevens and O’Connor, concurred, explaining that “in most cases, the honesty or dishonesty of a juror’s response is the best initial indicator of whether the juror in fact was impartial." ( 464 U.S. 548, 556 [ 78 L.Ed.2d 663, 671-672 ] | 2 | 3 |
