Summary
This legal document excerpt details a juror's, named David, perspective on the acquittal of Maxwell on a specific charge ('count two') involving an accuser named Jane. David explains that while Jane's story was corroborated by flight logs and Epstein's 'little black book', the jury ultimately found insufficient direct evidence to prove Maxwell had 'enticed' Jane to travel, which was required for a conviction on that charge. The decision was based on a lack of evidence for that specific action, not on a disbelief of the victim.

Jane's story was backed up by her high school boyfriend, who remembered being told about Epstein when they were younger.
The accuser's stories were backed up by flight logs which placed Jane on at least one flight with Maxwell, David said.
Their stories were backed up by Maxwell's "little black book" - an address book found in Epstein's home that listed the names of "masseuses" including Jane and Carolyn.
David said the little black book also gave the jurors clues about how Maxwell and Epstein had evaded accountability in the past. There were names of several Palm Beach police officers listed on a first-name basis in that book, David said.
"Those girls' names and phone numbers were listed next to the words 'mom' and 'dad'," he said. "Professional masseuses do not need their parents with them."
Many speculated that the jury chose to acquit Maxwell on count two because that count related solely to Jane, and that Jane was less credible than other victims.
But David told The Independent that wasn't the case.
"We simply didn't see enough direct evidence to convict on count two," he said. "It wasn't about not believing Jane."
Count two was a substantive charge that required proof that Maxwell "enticed" Jane to travel across state lines. David said there just wasn't any direct evidence for any specific trip that Maxwell took any action to entice Jane to get on those flights.
"I personally was willing to find her guilty on count two," he said. "But we all decided in the end that there wasn't enough evidence."
David also explained that he was convinced by the closeness of Maxwell and Epstein's relationship and the key role she played in his life.
