Summary
This document is page 42 of a legal filing (Document 613) from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on February 24, 2022. It argues that 'Juror No. 50' demonstrated implied bias through post-trial conduct, specifically communicating with victim Annie Farmer (spelled 'Famer' in text) and making public statements that the verdict was 'for all the victims.' The text also alleges the juror lied during voir dire to secure a spot on the jury, citing case law (Daugerdas) regarding juror dishonesty.
