Description
Defendant William Messelt appeals from a judgment convicting him of two counts of second-degree sexual assault, one count
of burglary while concealing identity, and one count of false imprisonment while concealing identity. 1 The charges arise
out of a June 1988 attack upon an elderly woman in Jackson County. Defendant asserts that he was denied a fair and impartial
jury because the trial court refused to change venue or to select a jury from another county, and because some jurors knew
or learned from extraneous sources that he had been convicted of two other sexual assaults. We conclude that the court properly exercised its discretion when it refused to change the venue. We conclude that the juror
witnesses who had information about his prior crimes were incompetent to testify to that information, and that the testimony
of a nonjuror was competent but insufficient to establish that error had occurred. We therefore affirm.
