Summary
This legal document details the testimony of Juror 50, who explained that his inaccurate answers on a jury questionnaire regarding past abuse were an inadvertent mistake. He attributed the errors to being distracted by a recent breakup and commotion, rushing to finish, and misunderstanding the questions, rather than an intentional failure to disclose. The Court considered this testimony in deciding how to proceed with questioning.

called the police and gave a report, but no charges were brought. Id. at 8–9. Although he first

explained that he was distracted as he filled out the questionnaire and “completely skimmed way
too fast,” leading him to misunderstand the questions. Id. at 14–15. It took several hours to start

nearby check-out table. He saw other prospective jurors completing their questionnaires and
rushed to finish. He explained that he was unconcerned with diligently completing the
questionnaire; he assumed due to the sheer “volume” of prospective jurors being screened that it
