Regina v Lewis: CACD 26 Apr 2001

After a conviction a juror wrote to the court to say that the jury had not been unanimous. The defendant appealed. The court refused to become involved in an investigation of the activities in the jury room. In this case, the time had passed when the judge could have accepted a majority verdict. An investigation could not be appropriate where the verdict was unambiguous, free of procedural defect, and there had been no dissent at the time.
