This document is page 3 of a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, likely United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) dated April 1, 2022. The text details the Court's findings regarding 'Juror 50,' concluding that the juror's inaccurate answers on a selection questionnaire were due to rushing/distraction rather than deliberate deception. The Court asserts that even if Juror 50 had disclosed his history of sexual abuse accurately, he would not have been struck for cause because he demonstrated the ability to serve fairly and impartially.

This legal document details a court's analysis of whether a juror, identified as Juror 50, intentionally provided false answers on a jury questionnaire regarding his own history of sexual abuse. The Court finds Juror 50's explanation—that it was an inadvertent mistake he only realized during a post-trial interview with the Daily Mail—to be credible and more logical than the Defendant's claim of perjury. The court is not persuaded by the Defendant's arguments and appears to be ruling in favor of the juror's credibility.

This page from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) discusses the legal standard for 'Inferred Bias' in jurors. It argues that even if 'Juror 50' had disclosed a history of sexual abuse during voir dire, the Court would not have automatically dismissed him for cause without further questioning to establish actual partiality. The text cites precedents like *Torres* and *Greer* to support the trial court's discretion in these matters.

This legal document is a court ruling from case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed on April 1, 2022. The Court rejects the Defendant's (Maxwell's) post-hearing argument that Juror 50 was biased because he failed to follow instructions on a questionnaire. The Court found that while the juror admitted to being distracted during the questionnaire, he was attentive and followed all instructions during the more critical phases of voir dire, the trial, and deliberations, and was therefore able to serve as an unbiased juror.

This document is the table of contents for a legal filing in Case 22-1426, dated July 27, 2023. The filing presents two main arguments on behalf of Ms. Maxwell: first, that a non-prosecution agreement makes her a third-party beneficiary and bars the USAO-SDNY from prosecuting her, and second, that the District Court erred by not removing Juror 50 for cause after the juror provided dishonest testimony and concealed information about being a victim of child sex abuse during voir dire.
