Summary
This document is a preliminary statement from a legal motion filed on January 25, 2021, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues that the government violated Maxwell's Sixth Amendment rights by using a grand jury from the White Plains Division rather than the Manhattan Division, allegedly to rush the indictment to coincide with the July 2 anniversary of Jeffrey Epstein's indictment. The defense claims this excluded a fair cross-section of the community, specifically underrepresenting Black and Hispanic residents, despite a Manhattan grand jury being available as early as June 25, 2020.
