This legal document argues that juror bias can be implied when a juror's personal experiences are similar to the issues in a case. It cites several legal precedents where new trials were granted because jurors failed to disclose relevant personal histories, such as being victims of similar crimes or domestic abuse. The author contends that based on this precedent, 'Juror 50' should have been struck for cause, but notes that the Court inexplicably held otherwise.
This document is page 4 of a legal filing (Document 87, Case 22-1426) dated July 27, 2023. It contains a Table of Authorities listing various legal precedents (cases) and the page numbers on which they appear in the full brief. The document bears a Department of Justice Bates stamp (DOJ-OGR-00021746).
This page from a legal document, filed on February 24, 2022, discusses the legal standard for juror bias in sexual abuse cases. The author argues against a mandatory presumption of bias for jurors who have experienced sexual abuse, distinguishing the current case from a New Hampshire state decision (State v. Ashfar). The document asserts that the court correctly conducted targeted follow-up inquiries to determine impartiality rather than automatically striking such jurors, which is consistent with the law in the circuit.
This legal document is a portion of a motion arguing for a new trial for Ms. Maxwell. It cites the 2018 New Hampshire case, State v. Ashfar, as precedent, where a new trial was granted because a juror failed to disclose during voir dire that he was a victim of sexual assault. The document draws a parallel between the juror in Ashfar and 'Juror No. 50' in Maxwell's case, suggesting a similar false denial of personal experience warrants a new trial.
This legal document argues that Juror 50 was incapable of being impartial due to his own past trauma of childhood sexual abuse, which was highly similar to that of the victims in the case. The filing cites multiple legal precedents where jurors were dismissed or new trials were granted for failing to disclose such biasing personal experiences. The document further contends that Juror 50's decision to speak to the international press after the trial to 'tell his story' demonstrates his deep identification with the victims and confirms his bias.
This legal document, a page from a court filing, discusses the issue of juror bias in sexual abuse cases. The author argues against a mandatory presumption of bias for jurors who are survivors of sexual abuse, citing legal precedents like State v. Ashfar and Torres. The document asserts that the court correctly conducted targeted inquiries into jurors' ability to be impartial, rather than automatically striking them, noting that a contrary rule would disqualify a large portion of the jury pool.
This document is page 5 of a Table of Authorities from a legal filing in case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed on March 11, 2022. It lists numerous legal cases, from 1976 to 2021, that are cited as precedent within the main document. Each entry includes the case name, its legal citation, and the page numbers where it is referenced.
