NY - Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein confidante, arrested on Sex Abuse charges, Jul 2020 #5

[sds71]

“(One) of the female inmates in Ms. Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms. Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep,” wrote lawyer Bobbi Sternheim.
“The inmate who made the threat has been moved to the SHU [special housing unit], presumably to protect Ms. Maxwell,” Sternheim wrote…

They also claimed that her experiences as a youth created susceptibility to Epstein. “She had a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic and demanding father,” they wrote. “It made her vulnerable to Epstein, whom she met right after her father’s death. It is the biggest mistake she made in her life and one that she has not and never will repeat.”

The doctor’s letter quotes Maxwell’s lawyer and longtime associate, Leah Saffian, as noting a “marked deterioration” in her well-being.

“Ms. Saffian added that recently, Ms. Maxwell has completely lost her sense of humor and often ‘misses the beat,’” reads the August 2021 letter by Alexander Sasha Bardey, which was heavily redacted.

So her life is ruined by all this exposure and being in prison - but she is now 60. What about all her young victims, whose lives she ruined for ever?

Wow
And some murderers in Europe waltz out of prison after only 18 years ( on parole, granted, but still).

How many hours did GM get billed for her lawyers to split hairs over the definition of 'victim'? Does GM really think that her team can convince the court that there were no victims?

NEW: Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer tells judge she may seek delay of Tuesday sentencing if jail officials don't remove Maxwell from suicide watch, where she was placed Fri. "without justification" and can't review documents. She was evaluated today & found not suicidal, lawyer said.


2/ Maxwell was abruptly removed from the jail's general population on Friday, returned to solitary confinement and placed on suicide watch, her lawyer wrote to the judge. She was given a "suicide smock" & was not permitted to review legal documents or prepare for sentencing.

3/ This morning a psychologist evaluated Maxwell and determined she is not suicidal, Maxwell's lawyer wrote to the judge. "Currently, she is unable to properly prepare for sentencing," the lawyer wrote.


4/ Maxwell's lawyer told the judge that if her client remains on suicide watch and is prohibited from reviewing legal materials before sentencing, the defense will formally ask on Monday for an adjournment of Tuesday's sentencing.

5/ Maxwell, 60, is scheduled for sentencing Tuesday. Prosecutors asked the judge to impose a sentence of at least 30 years, while Maxwell's lawyers say the sentence should be less than the 20 years recommended by the court's probation office.

Why on earth must she "review legal documents" before sentencing? All you need to do now, mam, is stand up, shut up, and take your punishment.

While I agree, and think it ought to be even longer than 30 years, the fact that she was deemed suicidal without any kind of psych exam, seems incredibly suspect, does it not?

Almost as if... nah.
I mean, if GM also ends up "Epsteined" then, someone's going to have to tell Alex Jones he was right.

What does this "prepare for sentencing" mean?

Sorry, but this all is resembling a circus.

IMO
GM will likely always have fellow-inmates who want to kill her, not for her crimes, but for how utterly insufferable her behavior is to everyone. Can you imagine having to share a cell with her? There will be other inmates who have nothing to lose by killing her, will gladly get paid for the deed, and this has NOTHING to do with Epstein and everything to do with how GM treats people NOW. Sure, she has a target on her back: she put it there with her arrogance and entitlement, and she refreshes it every moment.
Every time her attorneys file a whiny pleading while referencing her jail conditions is another reason for inmate-peers to want to off her. All this "it's so unfair to treat me like a prisoner and I'm not a prisoner like everyone else".... (viz. the pretrial document wherein prosecutors revealed GM wouldn't flush her toilet). How do you think this plays on a daily basis in her cell-block?
Now we're supposed to be sympathetic because GM "lost her sense of humor"? How is that going to be endearing in the lunch room?
IMO

In days of yore (2 years ago?), GM offered to renounce her citizenship for UK and France. What impact do you think those assertions (presumably made in good faith, cough) on her maybe wish to get transferred to a UK prison?
