(a) Upon an inquiry as to the validity of a verdict, any
otherwise admissible evidence may be received as to statements made,
or conduct, conditions, or events occurring, either within or without
the jury room, of such a character as is likely to have influenced
the verdict improperly.  No evidence is admissible to show the effect
of such statement, conduct, condition, or event upon a juror either
in influencing him to assent to or dissent from the verdict or
concerning the mental processes by which it was determined.
   (b) Nothing in this code affects the law relating to the
competence of a juror to give evidence to impeach or support a
verdict.
