Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (page 286) filed on February 24, 2022. It features the direct examination testimony of Ms. Brune (likely a defense attorney), who is being questioned about her failure to bring Google search results regarding a juror to the Court's attention during or after voir dire. Brune defends her actions by stating she believed the information she found referred to a different person than the juror, based on the juror's sworn statements claiming to be a 'stay at home wife' rather than an attorney. Brune also affirms her obligation to the Court remains the same as when she was an Assistant US Attorney (AUSA).

1 Court know.
2 Q. And you understood that the Court had the resources and
3 ability to get information on its own, correct?
4 A. Oh, yes.
5 Q. And you chose not to bring either what you had found before
6 voir dire or what you had found on March 12th to the Court's
7 attention, correct?
8 A. I made no particular choice relating to May 12th because I
9 didn't know that there was any more out there, but I certainly
10 did not bring the Google search results to the Court.

13 A. I have the same obligation to the Court now as I did when I
14 was an AUSA and had I believed that that information was
15 accurate, I would have immediately brought it to the Court's
16 attention.
17 Q. But you had no basis to know, Ms. Brune, one way or the
18 other, about the accuracy of the information, correct?
19 A. I believed, based on the juror's sworn statements and the
20 other factors, that she was someone else entirely.
21 Q. Let me ask you this question: In the papers and in court
22 you all -- talking about her, oh, she was a stay at home wife.
23 That does not preclude the possibility that she's an attorney,
24 correct?
25 A. I think that's so. There certainly people are who are
