Crime Ghislaine Maxwell Trial beginning

Alan Dershowitz asked Donald Trump to grant Ghislaine Maxwell a pre-emptive pardon | News | The Sunday Times (thetimes.co.uk)

All these news networks have that Pedo Dersh on all the time is fucking disgusting.
I guess he wanted her pardoned because he is afraid Maxwell will spill the beans on his Pedo ass.
Remember Dersh admitted to getting massaged at Epsteins mansion but "kept his underwear on". Nothing like a 60 year old man getting massaged by a 16 year old but as long as he keeps his tighty whiteys on, well then its OK. Fuck Dershowitz.
 
Soo... Looks like a juror lied on the questionnaire about previous sexual abuse and he used own personal experience to break the deadlock.

Then dude goes on media to talk about it... lol. Dude seems like a clown and may jeopardize the conviction. Claims he didn't see the questions.... Whoops. Mark Geragos talks about it on his "Reasonable Doubt" podcast and that's there potentially some criminal liability for juror, though unlikely.


Earlier Wednesday, federal prosecutors in New York asked a judge to oversee an inquiry after the juror granted multiple media interviews in the last two days that have raised questions about the integrity of jury selection.

The juror, identified using his first and middle names, Scotty David, told Reuters, the Daily Mail and The Independent that during jury deliberations he shared a personal experience of being sexually abused as a child when some of his fellow jurors questioned the accuracy of victim accounts.

The 35-year-old Manhattan resident said it helped convince skeptical jurors that the women could be believed.

The juror's disclosure in media interviews that he was a sexual abuse victim and that he used his story to influence deliberations "presents incontrovertible grounds for a new trial," Maxwell's defense team said in its court filing.

The defense called it "an issue of pressing importance."

Defense attorneys did not immediately respond to a request by ABC News for comment.

"If it wasn't disclosed, I think it's a serious problem," David Greenberger, an attorney with Bailey Duquette P.C. who was not involved in the case, told ABC News. "That's definitely a basis for a new trial motion or an appeal."

According to the Reuters report, the juror said he did not recall being asked about sexual abuse, but had he been he would have answered honestly.

"Assuming the accuracy of the reporting, the juror asserted that he 'flew through' the prospective juror questionnaire and does not recall being asked whether he had been a victim of sexual abuse, but stated he 'would have answered honestly,'" the prosecutors' letter said.

More than 600 prospective jurors filled out questionnaires that asked about personal or family history with sexual abuse. A blank questionnaire posted to the court docket indicated the prospective jurors were asked the following:

"48. Have you or a friend or family member ever been the victim of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual assault? (This includes actual or attempted sexual assault or other unwanted sexual advance, including by a stranger, acquaintance, supervisor, teacher, or family member.) _ Yes (self) _ Yes (friend or family member) _ No

48a. If yes, without listing names, please explain:

48b. If your answer to 48 was yes, do you believe that this would affect your ability to serve fairly and impartially as a juror in this case? _ Yes _ No

48c. If yes to 48b, please explain"

What I'm getting from this is that answering in the affirmative on those questions doesn't make the juror ineligible. The defense is basically saying that they threw out anyone who answered yes, and so he must have lied because they'd have thrown him out if he hadn't.

Which is fair enough. You can't lie and the defense team has a right to make jury selection choices based on facts and truth.

That said, I don't know where you find 12 people who could say they don't have a friend or family member who has "ever been the victim of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual assault."

Correct. It's the lying on the questionnaire that's the issue and can be a felony crime.

SEX TRAFFICKER Ghislaine Maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in jail.

The New York socialite has been put behind bars after being convicted in December by a federal jury on five charges, including sex trafficking, for recruiting and grooming four girls between 1994 and 2004 for sexual encounters with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein had been her boyfriend at the time, and died in 2019 in prison while awaiting his own sex trafficking trial.

Maxwell was also sentenced to five years of supervised release after she leaves prison, as well as a $750,000 (£615,000) fine.
 
Why was the evidence locked, you know, the black book
 
Did she address the court? I find it incomprehensible that this woman would just take 20 years on the chin. But co-operation is a 2 way street and the government might not have wanted to make a deal with her at all. So it would be interesting to see what she said at the sentencing hearing, if anything. It's surprising that she wasn't suicided already so I wonder how this is all gonna play out.
 
Release the list
Some names are pretty much known, like billionaire Leon Black. He was the CEO of a private equity firm and the chairman of the The Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan:

Black’s personal and professional lives have been in a tailspin since January 2021, when the billionaire announced he was stepping down as CEO of private-equity giant Apollo following the emergence of his ties to Epstein. An investigation commissioned by Apollo’s board disclosed that Black had paid Epstein $158 million in fees between 2012 and 2017—after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a teenage girl. Black’s massive payments to Epstein for purported “tax advice” and “estate planning” struck many on Wall Street as amounting to a preposterously inflated sum for such services.

Black insisted all along that his relationship with Epstein was strictly professional. “I was completely unaware of Mr. Epstein’s abhorrent misconduct that came to light in late 2018,” Black said in January 2021, adding: “I did not engage in any wrongdoing or inappropriate conduct.” But in late March, Black abruptly left Apollo months earlier than expected and then announced he would resign as board chairman of New York City’s Museum of Modern Art.

The only person to be punished for this global sex trafficking ring involving the world's elites is...a middle aged woman you probably just heard about in the last two years. Apparently, she's more expendable than even Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen.
