“In considering a motion to set aside when juror misconduct is alleged, the trial court has the affirmative duty “to investigate the charges and to ascertain whether or not, as a matter of fact, the jury was guilty of misconduct.” The trial court properly may summon one or more jurors to testify under oath in open court and to answer relevant questions propounded by the court and counsel about what had transpired. This is an exception to the general rule that testimony of jurors is inadmissible to impeach their verdict.”
