Commented [A9]: GOVERNMENT OBJECTION: Ghislaine Maxwell is the defendant in the case, and should be referred to as such, as is the case in virtually every criminal prosecution.
Commented [A9]: GOVERNMENT OBJECTION: Ghislaine Maxwell is the defendant in the case, and should be referred to as such, as is the case in virtually every criminal prosecution.
Commented [A10R9]: DEFENDANT RESPONSE: Ms. Maxwell is merely accused of the conduct included in the charges and this questionnaire, a point that bears repeating.
Commented [A11]: DEFENDANT RESPONSE: The defense objects that this language is superfluous and unnecessary. No other "case before this Court" is at issue. Further, the U.S. Government is represented by numerous other parties before this Court, including the SEC and other agencies.

21. If you are selected as a juror in this matter, after you have heard all the evidence, you will deliberate. During deliberations, if you find you are of one view and all the rest of the jurors of an opposite view, and if, after full and free discussion, you remain convinced by reason and by logic that you are correct, will you have the strength of your convictions to adhere to your decision, notwithstanding the fact that all the other jurors disagree with you?

23. Given the high-profile nature of this case and the sensitive nature of the charges, is there any reason why you would feel pressure - personally, professionally, politically, ethically, or religiously - to return a verdict other than one based only on the evidence? [If Yes/Unsure, question privately.]
