Summary
This legal document is a court order filed on February 25, 2022, addressing a motion from the Defendant regarding potential juror misconduct. The Court orders a limited evidentiary hearing to question Juror 50 under oath about statements made to the media after the trial, which cast doubt on the truthfulness of their answers on the jury selection questionnaire. The Court denies the Defendant's request for a broader hearing and discovery, finding the standard is only met concerning Juror 50's questionnaire responses and not their social media use or the conduct of other jurors.
