Summary
This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, detailing the beginning of the government's rebuttal argument in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The prosecutor, Ms. Comey, argues that the case is about Maxwell's crimes against children she targeted for abuse, specifically naming victims Jane, Carolyn, and Annie. She dismisses the defense's arguments as attempts to distract the jury and asserts the government's right to respond to them.
