Johnson v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• “There are few aspects of a jury trial where we would be less inclined to disturb a trial judge’s exercise of discretion, absent clear abuse, than in ruling on challenges for cause in the empanelling of a jury.”
• acquittal of one count does not mandate finding of prejudicial misjoinder
• no error in court’s refusal to excuse for cause a juror who initially stated his thinking might be affected by an outside event, but after being pressed by the court said he would do his best to be fair
