Prosecutors in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell have said that a juror who failed to disclose his own history of being sexually abused did not deliberately lie and should not be grounds for a retrial - while her defence branded him “self-serving and simply not believable”.
In a brief filed before the US District Court of New York on Tuesday, federal prosecutor Damian Williams and his staff said that "Juror 50", now known publicly as Scotty David, made an "honest mistake" and would not have been excluded from the trial if he had answered correctly.
