There could be a new trial?
She should be released till that happens after a cock up like this.
It should be declared a mis-trial really.
The day after three interviews ran with a Ghislaine Maxwell juror coming out as a survivor of sexual abuse, federal prosecutors requested a court inquiry into how those accounts square with the man's answers to a jury questionnaire before trial.

"Some jurors doubted the accounts of two of Maxwell’s accusers, David told
Reuters.
All three disclosures raised eyebrows among legal experts who noted that jurors were made to fill out a questionnaire asking them directly: “Have you or a friend or family member ever been the victim of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual assault?”
The query was followed by three separate boxes for “Yes (self),” “Yes (friend or family member),” or “No.”
It is unclear how David answered, as the jury was anonymous and their sensitive personal information was placed under seal. Both the government’s and the defense’s characterizations of David’s voir dire statements appear to be redacted.
According to Reuters, David said that he “flew through” the initial questionnaire and did not recall being asked about those personal experiences with sexual abuse on the form, but he added that he would have answered honestly."
I really cannot imagine that the victims want to be put thru that gruelling testimony again.
