Godefroid v. Kiesel Co.9/9/2003
tentional concealment.
Members of the venire have an obligation to answer all questions asked during voir dire fully and truthfully so that their qualifications may be determined and challenges may be intelligently exercised. Keltner , 42 S.W.3d at 721. We find that this continual expansion of the subject matter of the questions concerning previous involvement in litigation was sufficiently clear to trigger the duty of the seven jurors in question to disclose their previous involvement in lawsuits.
Because seven jurors failed to disclose the numerous suits in which they were involved, and the determination of whether a nondisclosure is intentional or unintentional is left to the sound discretion of the trial court, we find the trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting a new trial. Point denied.
Based on the foregoing, we affirm.
