Summary
This legal document, filed on February 24, 2022, argues that the court must protect a defendant's Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury, especially in high-profile trials. It alleges that "Juror 50" provided false answers during the voir dire process, which constitutes a structural error and undermines the fairness of the trial. The document cites multiple legal precedents to emphasize that the integrity of the jury selection process depends on the truthfulness of prospective jurors.
