After a trial to the jury on a substitute information,1 the defendant, Angel Rodriguez, was convicted of the crimes of kidnapping in the first degree with a firearm in violation of General Statutes § 53a-92a (a)2 and of sexual assault in the *317first degree with a deadly weapon in violation of General Statutes § 53a-70a.3 This appeal followed.

On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court erred in permitting a juror to testify at his trial concerning a conversation between that juror and the defendant, thus denying him due process of law and a fair trial. We find no error.
