Apparently a juror did not disclose that he was sexually abused as a child and was active in persuading other jurors toward a guilty verdict. After the trial, the juror gave several interviews in which he described his own sexual abuse.

There is another post on here https://poal.co/s/QStorm/490031 about a tainted juror working for Carlyle. This article indicates it is the same juror (and it's interesting that Yahoo is publishing it.) https://news.yahoo.com/ghislaine-maxwell-juror-could-upend-220757450.html

The attorney in the video, a former prosecutor who does a great job reviewing these cases, seems to believe that this very well could end up a mistrial and is not happy about it.

Yes, at least she's still incarcerated. I hope you're right about new charges - Heaven knows there's enough of potential ones.

I thought it was interesting at 2:16:00 that she discusses how quickly the juror got an attorney in place.

The whole thing is quite suspect. I understand her argument that, if they wanted to sway the trial, the current circumstance only allows a mistrial not an acquittal. At the same time, we know that it's harder to get convictions after mistrials, and maybe Maxwell's team thought the juror non-disclosure strategy would be less scrutinized. IDK - the whole thing stinks.

Like she said, if the juror was trying to rig the outcome, he could have just pushed a 'not guilty' vote. I don't think there was any intentional rigging.

All of what came out at the first trial would still stand against GM. This juror problem just delays the inevitable and forces the victims to go through this all over again.

Agree - the victims will be re-victimized. They will get raked over the coals on cross-exam with their prior testimony.
