Summary
This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. The attorney argues that Maxwell had her own wealth and connections (referencing hunting photos in the U.K.) and did not rely on Epstein for her lifestyle, challenging the prosecution's motive theory. The defense compares Maxwell to Eva Dubin, noting that Dubin dated Epstein for a decade and saw nothing abnormal, implying Maxwell's association should not automatically imply guilt.

"And does that motive even make sense for a woman in her 30s, that she needs this lifestyle, so she's just willing to drag 14-year-olds in for sexual abuse?"Source
