Ghislaine Maxwell Trial

#1

Post by ti-amie »

There is no TV coverage because this is a Federal trial.







Adam Klasfeld
@KlasfeldReports

About "Jane."

That's how three of the four "Minor Victims" of the indictment are anonymized. One is public.

Ponchi if possible can this be a sub thread under the "Tiny Trials" thread?

I'm skipping the graphic stuff.

She says Maxwell helped Epstein find those girls.

"Sometimes, she touched the girls' bodies."

"Even when she was not in the room, make no mistake": She knew exactly what Epstein was going to do, the prosecutor says.

@KlasfeldReports

That was a lightning speed opening statement from the prosecution.

Defense statement next from Maxwell's lawyer Bobbi Sternheim.

No. Topics are independent, and you can't have a SUB-topic.
They can be merged, and you would keep the chronological order. Or, we can order one forum (TRIALS AND LEGAL NEWS?) and put both of them there.
Might be convenient, for when the law finally catches me and sends me away :D

I like the "Trials and Legal News" option.

The witness rattles off Epstein's various properties: the house in Palm Beach, Fla.; the NYC mansion, ranch in Santa Fe, N.M.; and homes in St. Thomas and nearby Little Saint James.

How small segments of the world seem that the prosecutor is James Comey's daughter.

I hope the jury sees through that defense of bullying victims of child sex trafficking.

I have no background in law but when your opening statement compares your client to Eve in the Garden of Eden as a juror I'd be asking "is that all ya got?" Bullying is putting what she did nicely.
