This document is page 36 of a court order filed on April 1, 2022, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The text discusses the Court's rejection of the Defendant's arguments regarding 'Juror 50,' specifically concerning the juror's history of sexual abuse and 'healing process.' The Court cites Federal Rule of Evidence 606(b) to prevent inquiry into the juror's mental processes during deliberations and concludes that the juror's past trauma did not interfere with his ability to be fair and impartial.

This document is a page from a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) dated January 19, 2022, arguing that Ms. Maxwell's guilty verdict should be vacated. The text alleges that Juror No. 50 and at least one other juror were dishonest during the *voir dire* process, violating the defendant's Constitutional right to a fair and impartial jury. The defense requests a new trial or, alternatively, an evidentiary hearing to examine all twelve jurors.

This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, likely US v. Ghislaine Maxwell) involving the direct examination of a witness named Ms. Brune. The testimony centers on Ms. Brune's reasoning for not further investigating an individual (referred to as 'she') who might have been a suspended lawyer, citing reliance on sworn voir dire responses. The questioning attorney challenges this by pointing out that the indictment itself focused on the misconduct of lawyers and that several codefendants were lawyers.
