This document is page 17 of a legal brief filed on March 11, 2022, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). It argues that the defendant has not met the burden of proving that 'Juror 50' deliberately lied during jury selection (voir dire) regarding past sexual abuse, distinguishing between deliberate deceit and honest mistakes based on Second Circuit case law. The Government notes that while Juror 50 made public statements about being a victim, it is not yet proven that his questionnaire answers were deliberately false.

This document is page 7 of a court filing (Document 643) from March 11, 2022, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). It details the voir dire responses of five specific jurors (63, 93, 113, 189, 239) who answered 'Question 48' affirmatively regarding past sexual abuse or harassment but were deemed impartial and not challenged for cause by either the prosecution or defense. The document highlights that despite personal histories of abuse, these jurors affirmed their ability to remain fair during the trial.

This page is from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) dated March 11, 2022. It contains legal arguments citing case law (Gagnon, Moten, Calbas) regarding the standards for post-verdict jury inquiries. The Government argues that the standard for a hearing has been met specifically regarding 'Juror 50' due to inconsistencies between the juror's public statements about being a sexual abuse victim and their answer to Question 48 on the juror questionnaire. The Government consents to a hearing to determine if Juror 50 deliberately lied.

This is page 15 of a legal filing (Document 643) from the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on March 11, 2022. The Government argues that the defendant has failed to meet the 'McDonough test' requirements to secure a new trial based on juror misconduct, specifically stating that the defendant must prove the juror committed a 'deliberate falsehood' rather than an honest mistake. Despite this, the Government notes that it consents to a 'limited hearing' on the matter.

This document is page 30 of a court filing (Doc 643) from the US v. Ghislaine Maxwell case, filed on March 11, 2022. It is likely a government response arguing against a retrial, specifically refuting the defendant's claims that 'Juror 50' lied about social media accounts or held implied bias. The text distinguishes the current situation from the 'Daugerdas' precedent and asserts that even if the juror had answered truthfully about social media, they would not have been struck for cause.

This document is page 23 of a legal filing (Document 643) in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on March 11, 2022. It contains the Government's legal argument arguing that the Defendant's claims regarding juror bias are unpersuasive. The text defines 'actual bias' versus 'implied' or 'inferable' bias, citing precedents such as United States v. Torres and Smith v. Phillips to argue that actual bias is the only relevant inquiry in a post-trial context.
