Summary
This document is a page from the defense summation (closing argument) by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (referenced as the 'Oxford-educated, proper English woman'), filed on August 10, 2022. Menninger attempts to discredit the prosecution's 'culture of silence' theory by noting that household manager Juan Alessi threw away the 'mysterious household manual' and that no other staff testified to using it. The defense also argues that pilot Larry Visoski's nondisclosure agreement was standard practice for wealthy individuals to protect the privacy of famous passengers like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and John Glenn, rather than to conceal illicit sexual activity.
