When the juror stated that her ability to hear the case would be affected, the defendant had met his burden of showing that the juror was probably prejudiced. There is no showing in this record of any evidence that modifies, in any way, that juror's statement.
I cannot agree that this case is like Wood v. Woodham,561 So.2d 224 (Ala. 1989). The holding there is wrong, and I regret that Knop v. McCain, 561 So.2d 229 (Ala. 1989), is cited in the same paragraph with Woodham, because the two cases are so factually different. *Page 1370
