Fifth Circuit -- USA v. Manuel Barraza

 Where juror makes a nonspecific prejudicial comment prior to deliberations, but jury reaches verdict before court can act -- no remedy, as only way to prove impropriety would be to inquire into deliberations.

No Brady violation where deft has the information.

Prejucial testimony properly cured by instruction.

Email from judge seeking sexual relations as part of larger plan involving both money and sexual relations qualifies under wire fraud statute (which requires that money be involved).

No error in bribery sentencing bumps.
