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). The attorney attempts to discredit a witness referred to as 'Jane' by highlighting inconsistencies in her testimony regarding whether Maxwell was present during abuse committed by Jeffrey Epstein. The defense points to a February 2020 interview where Jane allegedly stated she was unsure if Maxwell was present, contrasting it with her trial testimony.
