Maxwell Verdict In Trouble?

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

As I predicted this morning, the guilty verdict is in trouble because of a juror's interview with Reuters. In short, he made it seem like he lied about his own past sexual abuse and compelled reluctant jurors to convict based on his own past abuse.

Assistant US attorney, Maureen Comey (hmmm?) is cited in the article and said they are investigating a potential serious issue with the juror.

I smell a bribed juror.

1. Oh good let's let a child predator loose cause of one dumbass juror

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

7. Yep

It all smells to me. Everything around this case is corruption, deception, and endless chances for the criminals involved.

2. Who do you suggest bribed this juror?

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

5. No Idea

But, Epstein and company keep finding magical parachutes.

A few guesses: trump, Andrews, Bannon, Melania, Dersh.... The list of interested power players is endless.

12. wouldn't it make more sense for them to bribe a juror not to convict?

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

17. Yes

But, that would be much harder, even for these guys.

He may have just lied out of shame, but, why do the interview and admit it. No one else was looking.


Everything in this case is on the table.

3. Sounds like a plant, to me.

[BlueIdaho]

4. Sounds like a re-trial will sort this out.

No doubt in my mind she would be tried and convicted again if necessary.

6. K&R for your DU handle

[Calista241]

8. They bribed a juror to convict?

The gov't can always try her again, and certainly would in this case. Bribing a juror doesn't make sense.

13. To Plant the Story

[cinematicdiversions]

14. Yeah that seems the long way around. NT

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

16. Given the History

Nothing would surprise me here.

[Beaverhausen]

9. Question- Do jurors never bring up their own experiences when deciding verdicts?

Do jurors have to have no life experience to make judgements from?

Honestly, good luck finding 12 people who were not abused.

[Kaleva]

11. I think the issue is that he lied about it when asked during jury selection.

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

15. They Cannot lie to the court.

This is a standard question in this type of voir dire and you cannot lie. The next question is can you still sit in this jury or will you be too biased.

10. It seems like a mistrial is coming.
