Summary

Defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim writes to Judge Alison Nathan objecting to a second superseding indictment filed against Ghislaine Maxwell just months before the scheduled July 2021 trial. The defense argues this expansion of charges (covering 1994-2004) constitutes tactical gamesmanship and abuse of power, potentially necessitating a delay in the trial. The letter also requests an in-person arraignment and a new bail hearing, citing issues with remote proceedings and referencing Maxwell's difficult detention conditions.

Quote #3
"Ms. Maxwell is requesting an in-person arraignment. She will not waive that right, most especially in light of media coverage and the debacle that occurred during a remote proceeding in a related civil case before Judge Preska."
