This document is a legal memorandum filed on October 13, 2021, by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in the Southern District of New York. The defense argues that due to 'tsunami' of negative pretrial publicity surrounding Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein (including books, podcasts, and documentaries), standard jury selection is insufficient. They request the Court allow individual sequestered voir dire and limited attorney-conducted questioning to identify and remove biased jurors.

This document is a legal memorandum filed on October 13, 2021, by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in the Southern District of New York. The defense argues for individual sequestered voir dire (jury selection questioning) and permission for attorneys to conduct limited questioning of jurors, citing 'tsunami' levels of negative pretrial publicity and the inflammatory nature of the sexual abuse charges. The motion lists numerous documentaries, podcasts, and books as evidence of prejudicial media coverage that allegedly demonizes Maxwell and links her inextricably to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.

This document is page 8 of a legal defense filing (Document 342) from October 13, 2021, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The text argues that a robust jury questionnaire and individual voir dire are necessary because the jury pool has been tainted by 'pervasive, vitriolic, and extreme' negative media coverage. The defense compares Maxwell's situation to other high-profile New York sex scandals (citing politicians and media figures) to illustrate the hostile environment and potential for juror bias.
