Ghislaine Maxwell: Lawyers want new procedures

The "Daily Mail" said the New Yorker that the jury was unsure how to judge Maxwell.The turn came when he himself told about his experiences with sexual abuse.A detail that he would have kept better for himself.The fact that he came into contact with abuse as part of the jury could have been an exclusion criterion for participation.

Before they are selected as a jury, the twelve men and women go through a strict selection process in US legal processes.This is to ensure that they are not biased and a fair process is possible.In an interview with the "Daily Mail", Scotty David stated that he could not remember whether he was interviewed in advance about sexual abuse experiences.If so, he would have answered truthfully.

The revelations of the jury that his experiences have led to the decision of the jury are "an undeniable reason for a new procedure," said Maxwell's lawyers in their application."Assuming that the reporting is correct, the jury claimed that he had 'scanned' the questionnaire for prospective jury and did not remember being asked whether he was a victim of sexual abuse, but he had statedthat he would have answered honestly ', again in the letter from the public prosecutor.

Until 19.January now has Maxwell's lawyer team time to formulate his arguments for a new process.
