Summary
This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on August 10, 2022. The defense argues that the accuser 'Jane's' memories have been manipulated by 'post-event suggestion' and financial motives, citing inconsistencies between her current testimony and a 2015 story she told the press. The attorney highlights testimony from witnesses Juan Alessi and Larry Visoski to contend that Jane was older than 14 when she met Epstein and that she initially visited Epstein's house with her mother and brothers, not alone.
