Question presented

Whether the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals’ narrow application of the presumption of prejudice standard when evaluating unrefuted evidence of jury tampering by a party’s business partner having a clear and obvious financial stake in the outcome of the trial constitutes an actionable departure from precedent and contravenes the unmistakable judicial objective to protect the integrity of the jury system, thus warranting corrective action by the Court.
