New Trial Not Allowed Under Rule 606(b)

The Tennessee Court of Appeals just issued an opinion that discusses when a new trial is allowed under Rule 606(b) of the Tennessee Rules of Evidence. The case is Gaines v. Tenney, E2008-02323-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Jan. 21, 2010). Rule 606(b) generally makes juror testimony as to what occurred during deliberations inadmissible except under certain circumstances, which are listed in the rule. See Tenn. R. Evid. 606(b).

Here's a link to the case:
