Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers are calling for a retrial after one of the jurors told a media outlet he was a victim of sexual abuse.
Scotty David said he “flew through” the prospective juror’s questionnaire, and while he did not recall being asked whether he was a victim of sexual abuse, he would have provided an honest answer.
Maxwell’s lawyers have written to the judge, saying the revelation is it “presents incontrovertible grounds for a new trial”. Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers are calling for a retrial after one of the jurors told a media outlet he was a victim of sexual abuse.
