Summary
This document is a letter dated June 7, 2022, from legal ethics expert Bruce A. Green to the SDNY prosecutors handling the Ghislaine Maxwell case. Green, retained by Alan Dershowitz, argues that prosecutors may have an ethical obligation to review a sealed deposition given by Virginia Giuffre in a separate civil case before Judge Preska. Dershowitz claims this deposition proves Giuffre lacks credibility regarding the Epstein-Maxwell matter, and Green suggests the prosecutors should verify this before Giuffre provides a victim impact statement at Maxwell's sentencing.
