This document is a page from a court transcript (filed August 4, 2022) featuring the direct testimony of a witness named Brune. Brune describes a conversation with colleagues Ms. Trzaskoma and Ms. Edelstein (Theresa) while walking to 52 Duane, concerning suspicions that 'Juror No. 1' might be a suspended lawyer. They discuss the juror's background revealed during voir dire, specifically a personal injury suit in the Bronx, and the juror's use of legal concepts like 'vicarious liability' and 'respondeat superior' which the witness notes are out of place in a criminal case.

Court Order issued by Judge Alison J. Nathan on October 22, 2021, outlining the procedures for jury selection in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The order establishes dates for screening questionnaires (Nov 4, 5, 12) and voir dire (Nov 16-19), mandates the use of juror numbers for anonymity, and denies a request to seal proposed questionnaires. The Judge cites significant case publicity and COVID-19 protocols as factors in these procedural decisions.
