Defendant Maxwell -Case update(s)

“...she is the victim on ongoing hostile media reporting which impacts the ability to seat fair and impartial jurors...” <—thats in her latest filing

—again I would urge you to perhaps read the actual court filings before you believe cherry picked quotes from certain people on Twitter - who by all appearances continue to use this kind of self serving tactic for the “likes, retweets and notoriety” (clearly this does not apply to actual reporters who report the facts) - that said there’s bern a lot of back and forth in the Maxwell case since last month’s superseding indictment —

In an effort to keep you apprised I’m going to quickly churn through the various documents (to include recent Orders). At all relevant times I will provide you with the ECF link, which will require you to pay for the filings —but I’ll also provide you with a link to the public folder where I’ve uploaded the highlighted and annotated documents.

The Government’s response to Defendant Maxwell’s letter —which insinuated that the Government withheld the information concerning Minor-Victim No 4. Moreover Defendant Maxwell stated potential prosecutorial misconduct, referencing in part the the new Victim had been previously identified and interviewed in 2007. This actually puts the previous filings into better context.

I found it curious that Defendant Maxwell was singularly focused on the Florida & New York investigations. Well now we know why but it’s important to factor in the Government — specifically the USAO-SDNY initiated their investigation into Minor-Victim 4 in late July 2020. As noted by the Government— once their investigation concluded it took two months to present to the Grand Jury;

Government completed the necessary internal processes to prepare a superseding indictment, which it presented to the grand jury in late March, or approximately

In July 2020 I told my Twitter followers that Defendant Maxwell would play a lot of games and to focus on what’s in the docket and stick to the facts elucidated in the actual docket. That position remains unchanged.

In sum - Defendant Maxwell pivoted to her known histrionics and drama of “prosecutorial misconduct” by the Government - “flood gates of new witnesses…fourth attempt to be released on bond…the Government engaged in a game of leveraging Victim 4 and purposefully delayed obtaining a superseding indictment”… all of which is wholly without merit. Then again this is a documented tactic of the Defendant. Conversely the Government notes that the Defense has been in possession of the discovery for months. Nothing in the SR2 would give rise to an unprecedented FOURTH bail hearing.

In short the SR2 Defendant Maxwell now faces a maximum of eighty years in prison. The Minor-Victim 4 evidence was corroborated by independent evidence. Such as; other witnesses, documents, travel records, phone records, shipment records, and items recovered during the execution of a search warrant.

Document 200 LETTER by Ghislaine Maxwell

In letter from the Defendant lodging a complaint that she arrived at the Courthouse at 5:15AM and waited until 8:30AM —Ma’am this isn’t the Ritz Carrollton

Defendant Maxwell’s request was quickly DENIED by the Court https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/doc1/127028905352 or via my public drive

Doc 202 - MOTION to Continue Trial Date by Maxwell

https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/doc1/127028921026 or via my public drive

Look it’s up to you if you want to read the voluminous court fillings - but allow me to show you what you’ll miss by refusing to read the documents. I see that Defendant Maxwell has landed on the “we don’t want to…but the government is forcing us” defense tactic -how adorably pedestrian of her.

For Example Page 2, last paragraph of Defendant Maxwell’s letter, note to date I’m unaware of the Government aggregating the numbers - because that’s a lot of witnesses and documents produced. —ProTip try to ignore the over the top and gregarious language used by Defendant Maxwell’s Counsel, focus on the data & numbers - pardon my snarky annotations…

“April 13, 2021…if not unprecedented disclosure, the government produced over 20,000 pages of interview notes, reports and other materials related to 226 separate witnesses whom the government does not intend to call as witnesses at trial”

But hold on didn’t Defendant Maxwell repeatedly argue that the Government (like the Boy who cried Wolf) had engaged in “prosecutorial misconduct” by intentionally withholding exculpatory evidence (in contravention of their obligations under Jenks, Giglio and its progeny Brady) —do you see the level of dubious hypocrisy at play here? You. Can. NOT. Have. It. Both. Ways.

See archived November/December 2020 Twitter Thread because what Maxwell is arguing here is not at all factually grounded, what facts presented are contorted and it’s actually an obvious non sequitur

Frankly Maxwell’s argument here is weak - it does not take weeks to review but thank you for helping the public understand the totality of the discovery the Government has produced to the Defense “on a rolling basis”

• 214,000 photographs

• hundreds of hours of audio-visual files

• over 250,000 documents where the text is too poor to be OCR-searchable.

Also thank you for unwittingly confirming that the Government has in fact adhere to its obligations

I literally have nothing constructive to say about Maxwell’s rationale requesting a continuance of her July 2021 Trial;

And lastly if you don’t want to pay for the filings - fine - here’s a link to my share-folder regarding Defendant Maxwell

Doc 203 Terminate Motions AND Order

As you know there was a bit of back and forth because parties concerning redactions - which became especially apparent after the lodging of the Superseding Indictment. I suppose it would be prudent to acknowledge that Defendant Maxwell has been quasi successful in her endeavor(s) to bootstrap the protracted civil litigation and her current criminal case.

https://ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/doc1/127128925095

Court’s March 18, 2021 and March 29, 2021 Orders, the Court approves the limited redactions to Exhibit 11 to the Government’s brief, except for the language quoted in the Indictment, which is already part of the public record….
