Ghislaine Maxwell's family says sister 'denied fair trial' - but chances of appeal success are ‘slim’
...with the appalling conditions in which she has been held for over 18 months and which seriously impacted her ability to participate in her own defence,” he said....
(slashed to a single line quote by me!)
Not enjoying the baseless renewed attacks on the victims by MSM under the guise of interviews, but the entire Maxwell family are all very well versed in the art of MSM having been brought up and trained within a major news empire & in several cases followed careers around it.
I presume that IM will use his quote “memory is faulty” when he is asked to explain the blatant omission when describing that ‘Her cell consists of a
6ft x 9ft space, with a concrete bed and toilet’ ‘her
isolation cell - where she is held approximately
12 hours every day’ with ‘
no flat surface in her cell for her to
work on the legal documentation for the
long hours she is left to
languish in there’ were ‘appalling conditions in which she has been held for over 18 months and which seriously impacted her ability to participate in her own defence’ & hence have a fair trial. (clipped from various sources)
It surely has to be poor memory that made him forget to mention the ‘day room’ she has access to for 13 hours a day, seven days a week (& yes she is very likely held in the cell where she sleeps at night for 11 hrs - it’s a detention center).
As prosecutors explained in a letter to the Court:
'The defendant is permitted to review her discovery
thirteen hours per day, seven days per week.
During the entirety of that time, the defendant has access to both a desktop computer provided by the MDC and a laptop computer provided by the Government on which to review discovery.
Also during those thirteen hours per day, the defendant may use the MDC desktop computer to send and receive emails with her attorneys.
This discovery review takes place in a day room that is separate from the defendant’s isolation cell.
Accordingly, the defendant is permitted
out of her cell from 7am to 8pm every day.
While in the day room, the defendant has
exclusive access to the
MDC desktop computer, the laptop, a television, a phone on which to place social or attorney calls, and a
shower.
The defendant is also permitted outdoor recreation every day, although she has the option of declining such recreation time if she wishes.'
‘…the defendant receives five hours of video-teleconference (“VTC”) calls with her counsel every weekday, for a total of 25 hours of attorney VTC calls per week.’

I am sure he will remember to mention the day room soon...
