Summary
This document is page 59 of a court filing (Document 382) in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, filed on October 29, 2021. The defense argues against the government's motion to exclude evidence, asserting that they have the right to reference evidence in opening statements if they have a good-faith belief it is admissible. Specifically, the defense intends to introduce evidence showing that Jeffrey Epstein abused many victims without Maxwell's knowledge or participation, arguing this is relevant to refuting the conspiracy charge, while the government attempts to characterize this as inadmissible 'good acts' or 'propensity' evidence.
