This document is page 5 of a legal filing (Document 614) submitted on February 24, 2022, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The text, likely from the NACDL, argues that high-profile trials create pressure on jurors to convict for fame or to avoid public scorn, citing the 'stealth juror' phenomenon. It specifically alleges that 'Juror 50' in the Maxwell trial used social media to express appreciation for gratitude received for convicting Maxwell, and compares the situation to historical cases like O.J. Simpson and Rodney King.
This document, a page from a legal filing dated March 1, 2022, argues that jurors in high-profile trials often seek to profit from their experience, becoming 'instant celebrities'. It cites numerous examples from the Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Scott Peterson, Derek Chauvin, and Robert Durst trials where jurors sold trial materials, received book advances, gave paid interviews, and secured employment as consultants. The filing suggests that the proliferation of media has increased the opportunities and incentives for jurors to capitalize on their service, potentially influencing their behavior.
