Summary

This document is page 2 of a legal filing (Document 533) from Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on December 9, 2021. It presents legal arguments under Section I 'Applicable Law' to support the admission of Government Exhibit 52, citing various Second Circuit precedents to establish that the bar for authenticating evidence is 'not particularly high.'
