The Skaf case is one...

" The court ordered a retrial after it was discovered two jurors in the case travelled to the park in suburban Greenacre to conduct their own investigations.
The revelation prompted a state-wide crackdown on jurors, including tougher penalties for breaches of the Jury Act."
