This document is page 39 of a court order filed on April 1, 2022, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court rejects the Defendant's motion for a new trial based on Juror 50's conduct, concluding that Juror 50 did not commit perjury, was not biased, and testified credibly at a post-trial hearing regarding his failure to disclose prior sexual abuse during the questionnaire phase. The judge rules that the 'McDonough inquiry' standard for a new trial was not met.

The text details the presiding judge's instructions to counsel regarding the final phase of jury selection, specifically managing 58 remaining jurors. The judge outlines the process for asking jurors about bias ('fair and impartial'), questioning those who raise concerns in the witness box, and the logistical procedure for exercising peremptory strikes at sidebar to select primary and alternate jurors.

This document is page 21 (filed as page 20 of 30) of a juror questionnaire for Juror ID 50 in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The juror indicates that they have not formed opinions about Jeffrey Epstein that would prevent them from being impartial, nor would Maxwell's association with Epstein prevent a fair verdict. The juror affirms their ability to decide the case solely based on the evidence presented at trial.
