This is page 9 of a legal filing by the Law Offices of Bobbi C. Sternheim, dated March 15, 2022, regarding the Ghislaine Maxwell case (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The document argues that 'Juror 50' was biased and answered voir dire questions (specifically Question 25 and 49) incorrectly regarding his history of sexual abuse because he does not identify as a 'victim' due to his healing process. The defense argues this psychological coping mechanism prevented accurate answers and demonstrates bias, reiterating objections to the Court's limitation on questioning the juror.

This document is a page from a legal filing (Case 22-1426) dated June 29, 2023, discussing the testimony of Juror 50 regarding his failure to disclose past sexual abuse on a jury questionnaire. Juror 50 explains that he answered 'no' to questions about family members accused of abuse because he no longer considered his abuser (a stepbrother) family, and that he rushed through the questionnaire due to personal distractions and a belief he wouldn't be selected. The text notes that because of his negative answers, he was not asked follow-up questions by Judge Nathan during oral voir dire.
