Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: During the trial, a prosecution witness informed the prosecutor that he recognized one of the jurors as being a friend of his mother. The prosecutor immediately informed defense counsel and the Trial Judge, who examined the juror in the presence of counsel.
