Summary
This legal document analyzes the credibility of Juror 50, concluding he should not be struck for cause. It argues that his prior experience with sexual abuse did not impede his ability to be a fair juror and that his subsequent press interviews were a result of naivety, not deception. The document cites the juror's own testimony and demeanor to support the claim that his failure to disclose information was an inadvertent error.
