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.
