This is page 4 of a legal filing (Document 614) from the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on February 24, 2022. The text argues that modern jurors in high-profile trials are incentivized to lie during voir dire to gain fame and profit, contrasting this with historical adherence to oaths. It cites interviews with jurors from the Derek Chauvin and Harvey Weinstein trials as evidence of jurors seeking media attention.

This document is the conclusion of a legal filing, dated February 24, 2022, arguing for a new trial based on juror bias. The attorneys contend that "Juror 50" exhibited both implied and inferred bias due to past experiences and media statements, rendering them unfit to serve despite claims of impartiality. The filing cites legal precedents, including phrases from Chief Justice Marshall, to argue that the juror should have been disqualified to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial.
