This legal document, filed on June 29, 2022, argues for the immediate unsealing of a defendant's motion for a new trial and related documents, such as juror questionnaires. The argument is based on the First Amendment right of public access to court proceedings, which is asserted to be particularly strong when allegations of juror misconduct are involved. The document contends that the public interest in transparency is significant, especially in a high-profile case, and that no sufficient justification for sealing the documents has been provided.
This document is page 2 of a legal filing (Document 362) from the United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330), filed on October 20, 2021. The text argues for public access to the jury selection process (voir dire) and juror questionnaires, citing numerous legal precedents including United States v. Shkreli and Press-Enterprise Co. v. Superior Court. It asserts that First Amendment rights require these proceedings and documents to be presumptively open to the press and public.
