Summary
This document is page 32 of a court order filed on April 1, 2022, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The text discusses the legal standard for 'implied bias' in jurors, specifically rejecting the argument that a juror must be presumed biased solely because they have personal experiences similar to the issues litigated at trial (referencing sexual abuse, though the specific nature is implied by the case context). The court cites Second Circuit precedents (Torres, Brown, Garcia) to support the ruling that implied bias is an 'intentionally narrow category.'
