Court Filing: 590
Summary
The defense argues that Ghislaine Maxwell's Motion for a New Trial should remain sealed to prevent Juror 50 from being influenced by outside information and to safeguard the integrity of the fact-gathering process. The defense claims that unsealing the motion would compromise the defendant's right to a fair trial. The court must balance the public's right of access to judicial documents against the defendant's right to a fair trial.
