Summary
This document is a transcript from a legal hearing (likely related to the Ghislaine Maxwell trial juror misconduct inquiry, given the 'M38TMAX1' code and content). A witness (a juror) is being questioned about why they did not disclose their history of sexual abuse on a jury questionnaire (specifically question 48) but subsequently discussed it in media interviews. The witness claims they were distracted when reading the questionnaire and only brought up the abuse to reporters to explain their reasoning during jury deliberations.
