Summary
This document is a transcript of a court summation by defense attorney Ms. Menninger on behalf of her client, Ghislaine Maxwell. Menninger argues that the prosecution is attempting to convict Maxwell through her association with Jeffrey Epstein, whose lavish and criminal lifestyle was put on display for the jury. She claims the government's case is weak, highlighting that they only presented a few "innocuous" photos of Maxwell and Epstein out of 38,000 seized, suggesting the remaining evidence did not support their narrative.
