This document is page 24 of an appellate brief (Case 22-1426, dated Feb 28, 2023) arguing two main points: first, that the statute of limitations had expired for the offenses charged because the 2003 amendment to §3283 cannot be applied retroactively to offenses committed before its enactment. Second, it argues for a new trial based on juror misconduct, specifically that a juror lied on a questionnaire to conceal his own history as a victim of child sexual abuse, which the defense argues established bias.
