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.' The text argues that challenges to reliability should go to the weight of the evidence rather than its admissibility.
