This document is page 3 of a legal filing (Document 604) from Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on February 17, 2022. The text presents a legal argument regarding juror misconduct, asserting that a juror hid a central issue during selection that they later raised during deliberations. The filing argues that the defense should not be required to prove the juror's 'willfulness' to obtain relief, citing Supreme Court precedents (Sheppard v. Maxwell, Irvin v. Dowd) regarding fair trials for unpopular defendants facing adverse publicity.
