Ghislaine Maxwell pushing for mistrial
Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorneys claim a juror who went public with his history of sexual abuse has “violated” her right to a fair trial.
Maxwell’s lawyer Christian Everdell argued the juror had “corrupted” the voir dire process by not truthfully answering questions posed during pre-trial selection, in a new letter to Judge Alison Nathan.
Last month, the socialite’s legal team called for a mistrial after the juror known as Scotty David revealed in an interview with The Independent that he had been sexually abused as a child.
He told how he shared his own experience of being assaulted with other jury members during deliberations.
