A jury convicted James Edward Glover of felony murder in connection with the shooting death of Tony Ledell Leslie.1 Glover contends that he is entitled to a new trial on the grounds of juror misconduct because the foreman failed to reveal during voir dire that he had previously worked in law enforcement and he discussed sentencing during jury deliberations. The trial court denied the motion for a new trial without explanation. Because Glover presents no valid reason for challenging the juror for cause or for permitting jurors to impeach their verdict, we affirm.

1. The evidence presented at trial shows that Glover and his wife went to Leslie’s house to collect a debt. After Leslie accused Glover of being disrespectful to his mother, the two men began arguing and wrestling in the front yard. The victim’s next-door neighbor heard Glover say to forget about the money and then saw Leslie, who weighed 300 pounds, push Glover and walk towards the house. Glover went to his car, got a gun from the back seat, and started shooting Leslie. The victim’s stepfather heard three shots and saw Glover chasing Leslie and continuing to shoot as they ran. The victim ran into the house, and Glover drove away in his car. Leslie was shot three times and died from a gunshot wound to his back. Police recovered six nine-millimeter cartridge cases from the yard and one from Glover’s car. They found the murder weapon later that night in a motel room that the Glovers had rented.
