Ex parte Bowen Development & Timber Co.
Supreme Court of Alabama
Ex parte Bowen Development & Timber Co., 564 So. 2d 976 (Ala. 1990)
1990 Ala. LEXIS 524; 1990 WL 120272
Shores, Hornsby, Jones, Houston, Kennedy
Ex parte Bowen Development & Timber Co.
Opinion of the Court
By denying the petition for writ of certio-rari we do not indicate approval of the language used by the Court of Civil Appeals that suggests a new trial must be ordered only if juror misconduct indicates a “distinct possibility” that the juror reached his decision because of that misconduct. We adhere to the rule articulated in Coots v. Isbell, 552 So.2d 139 (Ala. 1989).
WRIT DENIED.
