How later courts describe this case
- prosecutor's reference in his summation to "other people" was cured by district court's instructions to jury
- "There is no per se rule requiring an inquiry in every instance"
- No per se rule requires the trial court to investigate the internal workings of the jury whenever a defendant asserts juror misconduct; the duty to investigate arises only when the party alleging misconduct makes an adequate showing of extrinsic influence.
