>The first arguments will set the stage for a six-week trial in which the British socialites alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epsteins crimes will be aired in grueling detail, outlining how prosecutors and defense attorneys will approach the proceedings.
Maxwell, 59, stands accused of recruiting and grooming girls for the late disgraced financier, from 1994 to 2004, some of whom were just 14 years old. Epsteins sometime girlfriend is also accused of participating in his sexual abuse of teenage girls.
Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan federal jail on 10 August 2019, while awaiting his own sex-trafficking trial. Maxwell was arrested on 2 July 2020 in New Hampshire, a year after Epsteins arrest.
From the prosecution, youd expect that they would lay out their case and give a preview of the type of evidence thats going to come in, and a preview of who the witnesses will be, and theyre going to want to try to lay out their whole story of their case, said Jennifer Louis-Jeune, a veteran defense attorney in New York, of what to expect in the first days of Maxwells trial.<
There's much more text and some photos at the link. I'm not so sure about the
"Epstein killed himself" bit. Yes, Prince Andrew is mentioned. I'll be very interested
to see how this turns out since I am a strong supporter of Freedom And Justice For
All.
