Summary
This page from a legal document, filed on February 24, 2022, discusses the legal standard for juror bias in sexual abuse cases. The author argues against a mandatory presumption of bias for jurors who have experienced sexual abuse, distinguishing the current case from a New Hampshire state decision (State v. Ashfar). The document asserts that the court correctly conducted targeted follow-up inquiries to determine impartiality rather than automatically striking such jurors, which is consistent with the law in the circuit.

"when called for jury service in another sexual assault case involving an alleged victim who was a minor, Juror 6 acknowledged that he could not sit on that jury due to his feelings about his daughter; and . . . there appears to be little in the way of logical explanation for how he could have differentiated between the two cases."Source
