Summary
This document is a transcript of a court summation given by Ms. Menninger, likely the defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell. Menninger argues that the testimonies of accusers like Carolyn, Jane, and Annie are unreliable because their memories have been manipulated and have changed over time. She suggests this shift is motivated by a desire to hold someone accountable for the deceased Jeffrey Epstein's actions and cites expert testimony from Professor Loftus to support her claim about the nature of memory.
