Summary
This document is page 32 of a 40-page court order filed on April 1, 2022, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The text discusses the legal standard for 'implied bias' regarding jurors, specifically rejecting the argument that a juror must be presumed biased simply for having personal experiences similar to the issues at trial. The court cites Second Circuit precedents (Daugerdas, Torres, Brown, Garcia) to support the conclusion that implied bias is a narrow category reserved for extreme situations, such as deliberate lying to get on a jury, rather than merely shared experiences.
