The juror who almost derailed Ghislaine Maxwell's guilty verdict attended her sentencing wearing a camouflaged hoodie

• A juror threw Ghislaine Maxwell's guilty verdict into doubt earlier this year.
• He showed up to her sentencing hearing Tuesday and donned a camouflage-pattern hoodie in court.

The juror whose media interviews put Ghislaine Maxwell's guilty verdict into doubt earlier this year attended her sentencing hearing on Tuesday. He used a line-sitter who got there around 2 a.m. to ensure he could get into the courtroom and wore a camouflaged-pattern hoodie over his black polo once he was there.

Juror 50, who identified himself in media interviews using only his first and middle name, Scotty David, told outlets following the trial in December that he was sexually abused as a child and that he discussed his experience while persuading other jurors to return a guilty verdict.

He did not, however, indicate that fact on his juror form prior to the trial, leading Maxwell's lawyers to argue that he should have never been seated on the jury and that Maxwell's guilty verdict should be tossed.

In a highly unusual hearing in March, US District Judge Alison Nathan, who oversaw the trial, questioned Juror 50 about his false answer on the form. The juror said he was bored during the selection process and "flew through" the jury questionnaire, never expecting to be selected anyway. He also said he no longer associates with being a victim.

"I did not hope to get on this jury," he said during that hearing. "But if you're sitting for jury duty, it may as well be interesting."

Nathan ultimately upheld the verdict, ruling that Juror 50 didn't deliberately lie and that the situation didn't meet the legal standards for a retrial.

Maxwell and her family members said they plan to appeal the verdict and have indicated in court filings that part of the appeal would include rulings related to Juror 50.

On Tuesday, Nathan sentenced Maxwell to 20 years in prison, plus a $750,000 fine and five years of probation. She found that Maxwell's "heinous and predatory" sex-trafficking crimes caused "incalculable" damage to her victims.

Asked about his presence at the sentencing hearing, the juror declined to comment.

"I'm not speaking to anyone," he told Insider.

Todd Spodek, the juror's attorney who represented him through the jury questionnaire ordeal, told Insider that he had no idea he was attending the sentencing.

"I did not know that," Spodek told Insider when informed of the juror's presence. "I guess he wanted some closure."
