In Iowa a juror committed multiple violations of the trial judge's instructions during criminal trial: failing to disclose relationships with victim's family during voir dire; Facebooking and researching defendant's age; speaking about case to others at a convenience store. But on appeal most all the violations were determined insufficient for remand, however a finding of bias (acquaintanceship with victim's family) resulted in reversal and remand for new trial.

So we have had movies "Bad Teacher" and "Bad Grandpa"...so how about Adam Sandler or Pauly Shore starring in "BAD JUROR" ?
