And,the defense honed in repeatedly that many of them were already compensated financially in the past.
IMO,you can not have it both ways.

Maybe defense will just skip over that part?
Prosecutors call Ghislaine Maxwell 'sophisticated predator' in closing arguments
"Sophisticated predator"
In a rare weekend hearing, Judge Alison Nathan said the jury would be instructed that they may choose to convict Ms Maxwell if they conclude she either ignored or "consciously avoided" knowledge of Epstein's underage sexual encounters.
Lawyers for Ms Maxwell slammed the move as "some sort of backup option" in case the jury does not find she was an active participant.
Ms Maxwell, the socialite and daughter of a late British media tycoon - who also has French and American citizenship - has been held in a US jail without the chance of bail since her arrest in July 2020.

Defense started an hour ago.
Jane was lying because she said the movie was called 5 monkeys not 12 monkeys,etc.
Adam Klasfeld hasn’t tweeted about the defense closing. Don’t know if he’s not covering that or that he got held up in those long courthouse lines with one metal detector.
Yeah, how ridiculous is that!

Hmmm, I think the Judge should have ruled on this before the trial started.
She ruled on this on Saturday during the charge conference.

around the 100-minute mark for defense closings, Maxwell's attorney says the government only showed "one email for a ten-year conspiracy," Menninger says. "What a smoking gun."

Arrogant?
Live Updates: Case Against Ghislaine Maxwell Was Built on False Memories, Her Lawyer Says
“She’s Cruella de Vil and the Devil Wears Prada all wrapped up into one,” Ms. Menninger said.
“She’s Cruella de Vil and the Devil Wears Prada all wrapped up into one,” Ms. Menninger said.
I was wondering about that when she mentioned Epstein building a handicapped accessible lodge
and complained about the guy that didn’t clean the vibrators properly
Glad they got a stretch break in.
From BBC which spells defense as defence: link below
In her closing argument, lead defence counsel Laura Menninger again distanced her client from Epstein, saying: "I am not here to defend Jeffrey Epstein. He is not my client."
Ms Menninger argued Ms Maxwell had "no motive" for the alleged crimes because it made little sense that "a happy, educated women in her 30s would end her career as a facilitator of sex abuse".
She accused prosecutors of cherry-picking evidence "like a sensational tabloid", claiming they had not shown jurors as many as 37,000 relevant photographs.
Listing off specific inconsistencies in the testimony of accusers, she argued witnesses inserted the defendant into their stories after the fact because "their memories have been manipulated in aid of money".
