court filing: 2020-0088630
The document is a court filing arguing that a motion related to Juror 50 should remain sealed to protect Ms. Maxwell's right to a fair trial. The defense counsel asserts that unsealing the motion would give Juror 50 an improper preview of the defense's position and potentially allow him to tailor his answers or destroy evidence. The filing cites relevant case law to support the argument that the motion should be temporarily sealed until the court rules on it or completes any additional fact-finding process.
