DOJ-OGR-00009207.jpg

This legal document is a portion of a brief arguing against the government's reliance on the case United States v. Shaoul. The author contends that the government's interpretation of Shaoul is flawed because it did not address the specific argument being made, its relevant language is non-binding dictum, and it is inconsistent with earlier, controlling precedents like Langford and the Supreme Court's decision in McDonough. The document uses principles of legal precedent to assert that the court should not follow the government's reasoning.

DOJ-OGR-00009035.jpg

This document is Page 34 of 66 from a legal filing (Document 613) in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on February 24, 2022. It presents legal arguments concerning juror misconduct and bias, citing precedents such as *United States v. Langford*, *United States v. Stewart*, and *Clark v. United States* to establish that a new trial may be warranted if a juror provides false answers during voir dire. The text emphasizes Second Circuit and Supreme Court standards for determining when a juror's dishonesty invalidates a trial.

DOJ-OGR-00009032.jpg

This document, a legal filing from Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, discusses legal precedent related to juror bias and false answers during voir dire, citing United States v. Langford and McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood. It emphasizes that the focus in motions for new trial in such situations should be on juror bias and prejudice, and that factors like honesty and intent are relevant to determining actual bias. The document also notes that the terms "deliberate" and "intentional" are used interchangeably in the caselaw.

DOJ-OGR-00009886.jpg

This legal document, filed on March 11, 2022, is part of a brief arguing on behalf of Ms. Maxwell. The argument refutes the government's reliance on the case precedent of *United States v. Shaoul*, claiming it is inapplicable because it did not consider the specific points at issue, its key language is non-binding dictum, and it is inconsistent with earlier, controlling precedents like *Langford* and the Supreme Court's decision in *McDonough*. The document emphasizes that under the rules of precedent, the court is bound by these earlier decisions, not by *Shaoul*.

DOJ-OGR-00009726.jpg

This legal document, a page from a court filing, discusses the legal standards for determining juror bias based on false or misleading answers during voir dire. It cites precedents from the Second Circuit and the Supreme Court, such as McDonough, Langford, and Clark v. United States. The key argument presented is that a juror who intentionally lies to be selected is not a legitimate juror, and such dishonesty can be grounds for a new trial, outlining the specific tests used in the Second Circuit to prove such bias.

This document page is from a legal filing in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on March 11, 2022. It presents legal arguments regarding juror misconduct and the standard for obtaining a new trial, citing the Supreme Court case *McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood*. The text quotes concurring opinions by Justices Blackmun and Brennan to argue that a juror's intentional dishonesty is not strictly required to order a post-trial hearing on bias.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017676.jpg

This document is a page from a 2007 Utah Law Review article, seemingly submitted by attorney David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee (indicated by the Bates stamp). The text provides a legal argument regarding the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), asserting that criminal defendants do not have the right to compel the disclosure of a victim's identity, address, or private records (such as mental health records) prior to trial. It cites various legal precedents and specifically acknowledges the work of victims' rights litigator Wendy Murphy.

Edgar Hoover held over liberal Supreme Court Justices, specifically alleging that Justices Goldberg and Marshall cooperated with Hoover's anti-communist agenda to secure their appointments. It further alleges Hoover possessed blackmail material on both men, specifically covering up a relationship between Goldberg and a potential Russian spy.
