“Member of the jury 50’s sworn declaration at the conference made apparent that he didn’t purposely lie in finishing the poll, yet that he rather committed a genuine error,” court reports expressed. “Also, regardless, had Juror 50 precisely detailed in his survey that he had been a survivor of sexual maltreatment, he could never have been struck for cause.”

Maxwell’s condemning is planned for June 28, 2022.
