Alaska R. Evid. 606
Competency of Juror as Witness
(a) At the Trial. A member of the jury may not testify as
a witness before that jury in the trial of the case in which the
juror is sitting. No objection need be made in order to preserve
the point.
(b) Inquiry Into Validity of Verdict or Indictment.
Upon an inquiry into the validity of a verdict or indictment, a
juror may not be questioned as to any matter or statement
occurring during the course of the jury’s deliberations or to the
effect of any matter or statement upon that or any other juror’s
mind or emotions as influencing the juror to assent to or
dissent from the verdict or indictment or concerning the juror’s
mental processes in connection therewith, except that a juror
may testify on the question whether extraneous prejudicial
information was improperly brought to the jury’s attention or
whether any outside influence was improperly brought to bear
upon any juror. Nor may a juror’s affidavit or evidence of any
statement by the juror concerning a matter about which the
juror would be precluded from testifying be received for these
purposes.
