“gruesomeness of the portrayal is so inflammatory as to create an undue prejudice in the minds of the jur[ors] and [distract] them from a fair and unimpassioned consideration of the evidence.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Beagles v. State · Young v. State“"* * * For example, if after the trial it should develop that a juror was closely related by blood to deceased and had announced his conviction regarding the guilt of the accused and had misrepresented his position when examined, such a disqualification would enter into the very fundamentals of the trial itself. This is not so with reference to the failure of the juror to be a registered voter. The appellants make no contention that they were not fairly heard with an unprejudiced mind by the jurors in question. Their position offers no ground for reversal. Ex parte Sullivan, 155 Fla. 111 , 19 So.2d 611 ; Burns v. State, 89 Fla. 353 , 104 So. 447 ; Section 913.04, Florida Statutes, F.S.A.; 31 Am.Jur. `Jury' Sections 154-156."
