Ghislaine Maxwell lawyers say Scotty David should never have been on jury

Attorneys reject explanation that Juror 50 flew through' screening questionnaire, which would have flagged he had been sexually abused

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers have said the juror who did not disclose childhood sexual abuse provided a dubious explanation for the omission as they once again requested a new trial.

The juror, Scotty David, was questioned in court on 8 March about his lack of disclosure. David, who was Juror 50, told the judge, Alison Nathan, that he was distracted when he flew through a screening questionnaire for potential panelists.
