Summary
This page from a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) details the jury selection process, specifically the debate over the juror questionnaire. Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team proposed detailed questions regarding potential jurors' history with sexual abuse and assault. The government objected to these specific questions, and the Court partially sided with the prosecution, resulting in the consolidated 'Question 48' which asked broadly about personal or family history with sexual harassment, abuse, or assault.
