Maxwell Verdict In Question

https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/01/ghislaine-maxwell-verdict-comes-into-question


To the commenter(s) that questioned my analysis of the original Reuter's interview with the troubled juror(s), I guess my take was not "so silly" after all. Unfortunately, I was almost exactly right.

Now, we should all hope the juror(s) in question did not blow it so bad, as to warrant a new trial. But, something tells me justice is fucked on his one. Incidentally, if a new trial is ordered, expect her to get released on house arrest.

The conspiracist in me says that a band of mercenaries for hire will show up in the first month of her home confinement and that will be the last time GM is heard from. She will find a nice new home in Russia or one of their allied countries, and all of the elites connected to this case will breath a big sigh of relief.

I really hope I am wrong, but, if what the juror said in the interview with Reuters is true about the deliberations and he lied during voi dire, this case is headed for trial number two. At that point, it will be incredibly difficult to keep her in jail awaiting a second trial. It has happened, but she has capable attorneys and endless resources, material and human, to bring about her desired release. It will take a massive bond, but she can afford it.

Maxwell Verdict In Trouble?

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.

Potential Maxwell Verdict Issue (more at link)

https://nordot.app/851402998619963392?c=592622757532812385

Note: Reuters Article

A Maxwell juror gave an interview and claimed to have convinced holdout jurors to convict on the sex trafficking charge, despite their initial doubts. The problem, as I see it, is that he seems to be claiming to have introduced outside evidence (personal testimony) to do so.

In a nutshell, he said the he overcame two of the victim's memory issues by describing his own issues with sexual abuse and how it affects his memory.

Now, if similar testimony were in evidence already, it may not be an issue. This would likely have come from an expert in child sex abuse, at trial. I have no way of knowing that, but, if similair expert testimony was in evidence already, one would think, his story would not have been necessary to sway holdouts.

Also, another juror gave testimony to the skeptical jurors about her personal life, wherein she grew up poor. She speculated that, had an Espstein been around her neighborhood, she and other girls would have been likely victims. I see her as less problematic because she was applying her life to proffered evidence.

Perhaps the biggest issue, the male juror claims to not remember being asked if he or any family member had been sexually abused. All jurors were asked on the voi dire questionaire. If he lied, that is a major problem. If you read the article, he is very cagey about being asked.

I suspect, we will be seeing a defense motion filed shortly on, at least, the trafficking charge. I would love to see some attorneys comment here.

Note: The article is not terribly detailed, but Chauvin went after the jury for wearing a BLM shirt. This interview could be a major disaster for the prosecution and justice.

Properly Framed: New Jobless Claims

https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2021/12/jobless-claims-fall-below-200k-in-good-economic-news.html

I do not know why, but the misleading Yahoo article keeps getting posted, on this site, in the breaking news section every week.

There are boundless options that accurately reflect the historically low new unemployment claims. So, whoever keeps posting that Yahoo garbage should try to do better. A quick search shows that not everyone in the MSM is participating in the false Biden narrative. It would be nice if no one on this site did either.

Not sure why we keep having Yahoo's bull shit misleadingly titled article posted here, but there are better options out there.
