This document is page 14 of a court order filed on February 25, 2022, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The court is rejecting the Defense's argument that Federal Rule of Evidence 606 (regarding juror competency as a witness) violates Maxwell's constitutional rights to due process and confrontation. The judge rules that Juror 50 was a factfinder, not a witness against the defendant, and cites Supreme Court precedents (Crawford, Tanner) to uphold the limitations on using juror affidavits to impeach a verdict.

A legal letter from Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, to Judge Alison Nathan regarding 'Juror 50.' The letter notes that Juror 50 intends to assert their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, despite publicly claiming honesty, and that the government is seeking immunity for the juror. Maxwell's defense requests an explanation (proffer) for the Fifth Amendment assertion and the government's willingness to grant immunity.
