Summary
This legal document, filed on February 24, 2022, is an argument against a defendant's motion for a new trial. It cites legal precedent to establish the high standard for granting such motions and uses statements from 'Juror 50' to The Daily Mail to demonstrate the jury's deliberation process was diligent and fair. The juror's account is presented as evidence that the verdict was based on a methodical review of the evidence without undue pressure, thereby undermining the defendant's motion.
