Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers will ask a federal judge to order a new trial after revelations by a juror in her case that he was a victim of sexual abuse. Even prosecutors told the judge that the juror's claims 'merit attention.' The judge set a schedule for lawyers to argue the issue.
"It is clear to Ms. Maxwell that based on this record alone a new trial is required," they said, urging that all trial jurors be examined to evaluate their conduct if a hearing occurs.
The judge denied a request by another defense lawyer who wrote a separate letter asking her to suspend all other post-trial motions in the case. Prosecutors suggested in their letter that Nathan schedule a hearing in about one month, along with a schedule for lawyers to file briefs regarding the applicable law and the scope of the hearing."The Government respectfully submits that any juror investigation should be conducted exclusively under the supervision of the Court," prosecutors wrote.
