Maxwell before jury selection began.
a. What did you learn about the case from media reports?
b. When did you learn that it was a case involving allegations of sexual abuse of
minors?
3. When you first learned of this case in the media, that must have caused you to think
about your own abuse as a child, correct?
a. That must have caused you to want to know more about the case, right?
b. As a victim of serious child sexual abuse, you must feel sympathy for other
victims, correct?
c. Do you identify with them as people who had experienced the same type of
abuse that you had experienced as a minor?
4. When you were called for jury duty, did you know which case you were summoned
for?
5. When you arrived at the courthouse on the day you received your questionnaire, you
