Summary
This document is a transcript page (p. 84 of 221) dated February 28, 2023, related to Case 22-1426 (likely the Ghislaine Maxwell appeal). It captures a 'voir dire' or post-trial hearing where a witness (implied to be a juror) is being questioned by a judge ('Your Honor') about their attention span during jury selection, potential distractions regarding an 'ex,' and their decision to give press interviews about being a sexual abuse victim. The witness defends their accuracy in answering questionnaires and explains they did not believe their interview would garner significant news attention or alert their family to their abuse history.

13 questionnaire?
14 A. Because it was a different situation. I wasn't distracted.
15 There weren't things going on. I wasn't sitting there for
16 hours. It was multiple weeks later. So, again, I wasn't -- at
17 that point, I wasn't thinking about my ex.
18 Q. Would you say that you're distracted easily?

1 questions about this -- you said that you didn't think that
2 your family or friends would learn that you were a victim of
3 sexual abuse, despite the press interviews.
4 Do I have that right?
5 A. Yes, your Honor.
6 Q. And why didn't you think that?
7 A. Well, I wasn't using my full name. I'm also not ashamed
8 about it. It's something that happened, and it's something
9 that is relatively common that happened to multiple people
10 throughout the world.
11 Q. And we talked about this, but you understood that there was
12 a high level of press and public attention to the case.
13 Correct?
14 A. Yes, your Honor.
15 Q. Help me reconcile that you didn't think friends and family
16 would learn about your sexual abuse with the fact that you were
17 speaking publicly about it.
18 A. The one thing that I can point to is that when my friends
19 commented, texted me -- commented on my post, texted me about
20 it, they didn't even know that this trial was even happening.
21 So I figured a little article about a juror giving their
22 experience wouldn't be record-breaking or really in the news at
23 all.
24 Q. So you couldn't see how they would find out about it?
25 A. Yes, your Honor. That wasn't something that I was
