Wouldn’t that have been the first question asked of potential jurors during jury selection? ...or was it purposefully not asked so they could ask for a mistrial?
This was probably the plan all along. Now a judge can dismiss the charges altogether “in the interests of justice”.
And I still want to know who Epstein’s customers were.
“And I still want to know who Epstein’s customers were.”
That’ll never happen.
RE: Wouldn’t that have been the first question asked of potential jurors during jury selection?
It was. In fact it was part of the questionnaire for jurors. It looks like two of them lied.
RE: “And I still want to know who Epstein’s customers were.”
Also, I still want to know if Epstein really killed himself.
You will find that out when the CDC releases records of the mRNA Vaccines trials. 22nd Century.
I am assuming each potential juror had to sign the questionaire that asked if they had had any prior sexual abuse.
If so, I would assume both of these jurors will be prosecuted for perjury.
Sounds like they believe it was asked. But it would not surprise me, if it was not asked, more likely due to lack of oversight than purposefully.
I once served on a jury, where they never asked about whether any of the potential jurors had relatives in prison or relatives convicted of violent felonies. It was a murder trial. They DID ask many questions about attitudes about police, some about political leanings, some about people being or knowing victims of crimes, etc., but I was quite surprised they did not ask about having family members incarcerated.
Sounds like perfectly clear cause for a mistrial. Like it or not.
...and if I was a serious attorney, the fundamental nature of this would've prompted me to make damned sure by asking them out loud.
Unless:
It was asked. The juror checked the "no" box on the jury questionnaire.
Nope. Max the judge can do is order a new trial.
It shouldn’t be hard to pull his juror questionnaire and see what he answered.
If he lied and then influenced the verdict it’s going to be a mistrial.
“””I smell a rat.”””
I will only smell a rat if the two jurors are not prosecuted for perjury.
The odds that both alleged victims of sexual abuse are male seem a bit high.
You signed the Jury form under penalty of Perjury on every Jury I was on. It was under or above the signature line. But as stupid as people are today, they probably ignore it.
Somebody is still operating under the erroneous assumption that we still have a fully functional and uncorrupted judicial system in this country.
Hi.
In a related matter, who besides the FBI have the videos conficated from Epstein’s mansions in NYC, Palm Beach and his island? Have chain of custody protocols been maintained? Have the videos been secured and catalogued?
Oh, and Maxwell didn’t kill herself.

We already know the answer to that question.
