In-person jury selection began on Tuesday in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of grooming underage girls for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse.
Between Nov. 4 and Nov. 12, more than 600 prospective jurors filled out questionnaires asking what they had heard about Maxwell and Epstein, as well as their own experiences with sexual abuse or assault.Of that initial pool, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan plans to question 231 individuals in person, a process known as voir dire.
Due to the personal nature of many of the questions, prospective jurors will appear individually before Nathan and lawyers for both sides. Nathan said she hopes to have a pool of 50 to 60 qualified jurors by the time voir dire is complete on Nov. 19. Attorneys for both sides will then select dozens of jurors to be removed from the pool without specifying a reason - known as a peremptory strike.HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL SERVE ON THE JURY?WHO WILL BE ON THE JURY?
