• Adkins is convicted of unlawful possession of narcotics at a trial in which he did not testify in his own defense. A week after the trial, the judge receives a letter from a juror expressing concern that the jury violated the judge's instructions because it considered Adkins refusal to take the stand as an admission of guilt. The judge informs both counsel of the letter, and the attorney for Adkins files a motion for a new trial based on juror misconduct. May the juror be called to testify on the matters in the letter? May the letter be considered?
