Summary

This legal document, part of case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, argues against a defendant's motion for a new trial based on alleged juror bias. It focuses on Juror 50, who had a history of sexual abuse, and contends that despite this, the juror consistently affirmed his impartiality during voir dire on November 16, 2021, and a subsequent hearing on March 8, 2022. The filing asserts that Juror 50's testimony demonstrates he was not biased and was capable of rendering a verdict based solely on the evidence and the court's instructions.
