A federal judge upheld Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction on sex trafficking charges Friday, ruling that a juror’s misstatements on a pretrial questionnaire should not cause a mistrial.

Judge Alison Nathan issued the ruling nearly a month after the juror testified in court he made an"inadvertent" mistake when he indicated in the questionnaire that he was not a victim of sexual abuse. Under oath, he said he had been sexually abused as a child, yet he maintained that his past did not shape his views or influence his approach as a juror in the trial.

Maxwell's lawyers argued she should be granted a new trial because of the juror's answers.Last month, Judge Nathan questioned the juror, who said he was distracted and unfocused when filling out the questionnaire and made an"inadvertent mistake." He denied tailoring his answers to win a spot on the jury.

Unfair trial, how can anyone answer a question wrong about being abused as a child 🤔, I smell a rat!

She must have been his submissive look at photo and she jumped when he snapped his fingers no matter what he wanted he got!!!!!

‼️‼️🇫🇷 As previously reported, the information is confirmed: In Mariupol, two officers of the French DGSE intelligence were killed in one of the downed helicopters.

Does still claim it's suicide? On Guantanamo they get tortured and kept alive. There also seem to be no form of camera-footage on this high-security location.

Shes going to jail...period. On another note, there is something very disturbing about this picture. Just saying....where is his foot?!?!

Soooooooo, who bought what she was selling?

I saw Paramount Plus is doing a docuseries about this juror. I don't get it. Like who is more guilty than Maxwell? I don't care what alternative evidence this guy believes, she's guilty of every charge. Epstein wouldn't have been half as successful without her.

“A federal judge has just died of an apparent suicide tomorrow at 4:53 am”

Very good, her only options are screw everyone and give all the names, or a hopefully very long prison sentence. I honestly want the names more, all must be held accountable.

Judge upholds Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking convictionNEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. judge refused to throw out Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction Friday, despite a juror’s failure to disclose before the trial began that he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Strange wording there . Almost like you were rooting for her. Lock her up. Throw away the key. Why are the cameras not allowed to show us what's happening? You guys butt into every one else's business when they're having a trial. But this one, we just have to listen and believe whatever you tell us. WIth the 'who's who list' she's connected to. Just seems a little odd. 🤔
