| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: 1. Was reversible error committed when a jury member was allowed to receive a telephone call, while on supper break, during deliberations, when there was no notification to the Court that such communication had taken place. 2. Was the Defendant's right against double jeopardy violated when the state continued its prosecution for the aggravate assault, after the Defendant has already plea guilty and been convicted of simple assault in a separated county, when the offense charged was from one continuous act involving both jurisdictions. Appellee's Statement of the Issues: 1. The District Court did not commit reversible error when a jury member was allowed to receive a telephone call, while on a supper break, during deliberations, when there was no notification to the Court that such communication had taken place. 2. The affidavit by juror Allen Nitschke is an impermissible attempt by a juror to impeach his verdict under North Dakota Rules of Evidence 606(b). 3. The issue of double jeopardy is a moot since Weisz was acquitted of the aggravated assault charges. 4. Weisz was not put in jeopardy for the same offense. | ||||||
