Summary

This document is page 20 of an appellate court opinion (likely 2nd Circuit) dated September 17, 2024, affirming a District Court's denial of Ghislaine Maxwell's motion. Maxwell argued that testimony regarding sexual abuse in New Mexico constituted a 'constructive amendment' or 'prejudicial variance' violating the Fifth Amendment because it differed from the indictment charges. The court rejected this argument and affirmed the lower court's ruling.
