about her ex ONLY getting in trouble AFTER they split. Totally untrue. It was while they were together that Juan was involved in a case that included 1st degree murder. That case went on for over two years until he was sentenced at the time of their wedding. She clearly wanted the court to believe she was never with any husband while they were involved in a criminal proceeding. False, her ex who she had been with for many years, had extremely serious charges being dealt with for over two years while they were togther.
To me, both elements are equally going to result in her being removed for cause during voir dire. Whether it's the fact Juan prosecuted her ex while they were together or her ex had the same charge 1st degree murder as in the JA case or just the fact that her ex had serious charges while they were together-not AFTER. Any/all of those were cause for removal.

The fact she watched the movie wasn't new information though was it? It was to the jurors I guess but I thought we already knew this. I think the proglem was her using the movie in her decision making.
The real issue seems to be that Juan prosecuted her former husband. I don't think the movie was a concern for Juan. But if he'd known about the connection to her he never would have let her on, nor would the judge. The question becomes did she know this. She will probably deny this or have an explanation for it. But I honestly don't believe she didn't know. IMVPO.
