Interesting sleight of hand on the defense chart, attacking testimony by Annie Farmer: * The highlighted text supporting the claim on the slide's title is the defense's attorney's question. * Farmer's answers, not highlighted, contradict the premise of the questions.

Only seen by jurors yesterday, the slides shown during the closings in Ghislaine Maxwell's trial have been released. On the left, a representative slide from the prosecution's summation—a long, enduring relationship. On the right, the defense's—attacking plaintiffs' lawyers.

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers know how to hammer home a theme. (More defense slides—It goes on like this for four more slides.)

Government slides, meanwhile, generally look like they were made by the U.S. government.

(funny haha)

So what was in that “shred all” box?

Ghislaine Maxwell jury requests transcripts as they continue deliberations

Later Tuesday morning, one of Maxwell’s lawyers was spotted outside the courthouse helping load cardboard boxes into a white van.

It’s unclear what was in the boxes, but one of the containers had “shred all” scrawled on it in black marker.

2:56 note from jury - "We would like the FBI deposition...referred to by the defense" during cross-examination of Carolyn. Gov. says that particular document is not in evidence. Maxwell lawyer says there's testimony about it, even though it's not a document admitted into evidence

Judge Nathan: I have a note. "We would like the FBI deposition 3505-005 referred to by the defense."

Hope that wasn’t in the shred box

Accuser testifies Ghislaine Maxwell told her she 'had a great body for Epstein and his friends.' She was 14.

Someone was taking copious notes during the trial to ask for something that specific.

(from a previous tweet)
Pagliuca says the FBI notes say that Carolyn described the woman as having an "unknown" accent. The witness denies that, saying she told the FBI that the woman had an "accent."

Jurors want to scrutinize this FBI note from Carolyn's interview in 2007. Here's the thing: Notes from FBI interviews are NOT evidence. Jurors want to know the basis of Carolyn's cross-examination, showing they appear to be engaging with the defense here.

Jurors appear also to have some confusion about the role about FBI 302s. More on the background of FBI 302s and the law here, courtesy of

NECESSARY DISCLAIMER: It is generally counterproductive to read the tea leaves from jury notes, which represent snapshots from their deliberations. We don't know what inside the note sparked the debate. That said, they do provide a window into what they're scrutinizing.

Also, the phrasing of the court's instruction makes clear that the document that jurors requested is not an admitted exhibit, but the testimony alluding to it is before them.

I want to know who "his friends"are.

That's the million dollar question.

Yes. I remember that mentioned in a tweet. Anyone else?

In fact, jurors called it an FBI "deposition" — which it isn't. They're unauthenticated notes. That confusion would appear to benefit the defense, suggesting at least one of them is giving it the weight of one.

Essentially, jurors want to scrutinize the FBI's notes of unrecorded interviews that are not verbatim transcripts, which are unable to be entered into evidence because they cannot be authenticated.

After the proceedings regarding this note, Maxwell's lawyer Bobbi Sternheim appeared to be smiling ear to ear in a conversation with someone in the front of the gallery. Maxwell also appeared to be more upbeat than when she entered.
