Ghislaine Maxwell court update: the defense expects to rest Friday night or Monday morning. Closing arguments will likely occur on Monday. They mentioned the first names of 3 witnesses they plan to call: Eva, Michelle and Kelly...

What does this mean?

It means to ask if the defendant wants to testify, talked to her attorneys, etc., etc.

What does this mean?

he will ask defendant if she chooses to testify

 

[Chelly]

Surely. Not sure I would even pay attention to it. MOO.

As a juror, wouldn't you want to know if the women were minors at the time of the incidents?

Thanks for your updates today, very helpful.

As a juror, wouldn't you want to know if the women were minors at the time of the incidents?

I guess I should by law?

 

[LaborDayRN]

IMO...Prosecutor asked some snarky questions which I admit, enjoyed reading.

I loved the "You haven't written a book called "Impartial Witness, right?" comment!
Thanks Chelly for keeping us updated. It's awfully fishy that MSM is providing little to no coverage of this case.

The absence of coverage by MSM makes my blood boil and taking that one step further and asking "Why?"

@LaborDayRN The question about book called "Impartial Witness" absolutely cracked me up. Some other prosecutorial digs:
*... asked if Loftus testified on Harvey Weinstein's behalf.
*Have you conducted a study where you arranged for girls to be sexually abused? A: No, absolutely not.
*....asked if she has ever conducted a study trying to implant false memories of childhood sexual abuse.
*My fav, of course, is the questioning of the Loftus "Bugs Bunny" study.

I suspect those who are noticing the glaring lack of MSM of this, already know the answer as to why.

I believe there are powerful, well connected, well known people directly connected to both JE and GM who, just like them, engage in the exact same type of lifestyle. That's been documented repeatedly so we know that much is true.
I suspect some of these same people absolutely control what the media reports on.

Does this sound like conspiracy theory stuff? Probably.
But I haven't seen a better answer as to why the media seems to find zero interest in this case.

 

[Dontknow?]

There is an obvious exclusion of reporting on many things lately. Just convict her and move her on to prison. Give her a sentence worthy of a princess who killed too many souls. Life. No parole. So tired of her sorry .... jmo

 

[tayaway]

Sounds like Loftus spent a large part of her time on the stand tooting her own horn with her CV and all the cases she’s worked on…from these tweets and what I’ve read elsewhere.

There's no better place to hawk your wares than in the middle of a high profile case!

@Chelly Thanks so much for keeping us updated!

 

[JudgeJudi]

First Defence witness was Celina Espinosa who worked at JE’s Madison Avenue office between 1996 and 2002, first as a legal assistant and then a month into her employment GM asked her to be her executive assistant.

JE was dating a Norwegian heiress at the same time he was with Madam Maxwell. Asked if she got the impression there was a romantic relationship between JE and Midelfart, she said, 'I felt like Jeffrey liked her…I felt they were a couple, they were together'. She said the women visiting JE were ‘18 and over. Young women’.

When she first met JE and GM she thought they were a couple by the ‘way they interacted together, they were a little flirty…they behaved like a couple’.

The first time she met 'Jane' she thought she was probably 18. She visited JE’s office around 5 times, usually with her mother. 'Jane's' mother told her that she was JE's goddaughter which meant she was 'treated with utmost respect' and that the women who worked in the office 'considered her (Jane) family of Jeffrey's'. Espinosa’s impression of the relationship between JE and 'Jane' was that 'It was a loving relationship'.

I agree 100% and it absolutely makes me sick to my stomach!

Eva Dubin, Jeffrey Epstein’s Fmr GF, Fmr Miss Sweden and wife of wealthy NY hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin — to testify for defense in Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

Eva Dubin to testify for Ghislaine Maxwell defense. Her husband, Glenn Dubin, has been publicly accused of having sex with underage teen, Virginia Roberts, a charge he has aggressively denied.

Judge in Ghislaine Maxwell case scolds defense for failing to have witnesses ready; one defense witness ignoring federal subpoena; another is 81 and lives in UK, can’t make it until Mon. A third has Covid. One will plead 5th.

Defense reveals that FBI seized Millions of documents, data & files from devices in 2019 search of Jeffrey Epstein’s home — only a fraction of which thd Govt has made public in the case. What are on those other files?

@MartaDhanis

#GhislaineMaxwelltrial: day 12 & 2nd day of defense’s case. They cd rest either today or Monday. Defense had alluded they might call 3 women named Eva, Michelle, and Kelly - women who according to accuser Jane took part in 'orgies' she claims she was forced into while underage
We just learned that ‘Kelly’ has been subpoenaed but defense’s efforts have gone unanswered. They want Marshals to intervene and bring witness to testify but Nathan seems reluctant to give more time to defense. Also, Eva Dubin will be testifying today. She dated Epstein for 11yrs

Color from the courtroom: as Maxwell, was brought in by Marshals and before judge Nathan walked in, she looked worked up as she conferred with her attorneys - Sternheim, Everdell (kneeling down) and Menninger around her - for a while.

• Ghislaine Maxwell's second day of defense got off to a rocky start Friday
• One witness refused to respond to a subpoena, another said they would take the fifth and a third was not being called
• In addition, Maxwell tried to have an 81-year-old pub owner from England try to fly over to bolster her case at the 11th hour
• Judge Alison Nathan appeared exasperated that these issues were being raised at the last minute and said she did not want to delay the trial
• Judge Nathan asked: 'Why am I hearing about it for the first time now?'
• Maxwell's lawyer Laura Menninger replied that Maxwell's 'life is on the line' and they were only being given one and a half days to mount their defense

"Maxwell's lawyer Laura Menninger replied that Maxwell's 'life is on the line' and they were only being given one and a half days to mount their defense"

Is this attorney a new hire? One and a half days? lol I think she meant "years".

Eva said today she never saw the pic of Epstein and her daughter that is being kept under seal.

@MeghanEMorris

Today at Ghislaine Maxwell's trial, longtime Jeffrey Epstein friend Eva Andersson Dubin is slated to testify. She dated Epstein in the 80s. My reporting showed how her family, especially her older daughter, stayed close with Epstein.
In 2009, Eva told Epstein's probation officer in 2009 that she & her husband were "100% comfortable" with Epstein around their three kids - the oldest a teenage girl.
And Epstein told associates he considered marrying Eva's older daughter so she could inherit his island tax-free. She was briefly a beneficiary of one of Epstein's trusts, alongside lawyers, models, and others.
Eva's stories about Epstein haven't been consistent. Her spokespeople repeatedly told me Epstein was *not* her children's godfather. In a doc Epstein's attorneys prepared for him in 2007 - the same doc where her older daughter called Epstein "Uncle Jeff"

'Uncle Jeff': Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with the 24-year-old daughter of billionaire hedge-fund founder Glenn Dubin is more complex than previously known

@kbriquelet

Michelle Healy, who worked for Epstein in the '90s, testified after Eva Dubin & said she met the victim referred to as "Jane" but that "she looked like a grownup to me."
She said Jane wore a lot of makeup!
@JayShams
Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorneys are planning to get a guy named Alexander Hamilton to testify in her defense, but he's in London and has COVID. This is not a joke tweet.
Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorneys have withdrawn Alexander Hamilton. He will no longer testify in her defense.
