>The Netflix documentary on Epstein definitely painted her and others in a bad light.
I've wondered about this point. If you've watched the documentary then does that make you ineligible to be on the jury because you'd be considered biased?
- docdeek 6y agoMy understanding (IANAL) is that being aware of a high profile case from media reports or documentaries or such things is not by itself disqualifying. It comes down to whether the juror can maintain an open mind and base their vote fairly on the evidence in the trial. If this was not the case then it would be difficult for any high profile national figure to secure a jury trial in any jurisdiction.

- xeromal 6y agoyeah, full stop. I wouldn't lie when questioned about that either.
- ponker 6y agoVery bad to lie about this because the court can easily subpoena Netflix records to see that you did.
