Maxwell sounds like a horrible person, but when I read what this juror told the Daily Mail yesterday, I thought, instant mistrial

take two

Ghislaine Maxwell lawyers will ask for a new trial after learning TWO jurors disclosed their history of sexual abuse during deliberations and 'helped convince other jury members to convict'

You can’t do that. The law is crystal clear: they had to disclose that history during voir dire. Nothing could have been more material.

That letter [requesting a declaration of mistrial] obtained by DailyMail.com also filed in Federal Court Wednesday, came as a direct response to interviews given by David in which he revealed that his admission of being a victim of sexual abuse marked a sea-change in deliberations.

In interviews given by a second juror Wednesday they also expressed the view that sharing their story helped lead uncertain jurors towards a conviction.

By lying, those jurors put traumatized victims through weeks of useless testimony and wasted what must have been millions of dollars on this circus. A bonanza for the media, of course, because they’ll be able to do it all again.
