Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript of a summation by Ms. Menninger, likely the defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell. Menninger argues against the prosecution's proposed motive, suggesting Maxwell had her own luxurious lifestyle and may have been the one with valuable connections, not Jeffrey Epstein. She also points to Eva Dubin, who dated Epstein for a decade without seeing anything abnormal, to cast doubt on the idea that Maxwell must have known about and participated in criminal activity.

1 But in terms of Ghislaine Maxwell's lifestyle, do you
2 know what it was before she met Jeffrey Epstein? No, because
3 the government didn't tell you about that. Do you know what it
4 was after she left Jeffrey Epstein? No, because the government
5 didn't tell you about that. Do you know her financial
6 situation? Do you know whether she had luxury in her life?
7 You saw photos of her that they showed you wearing tartan or
8 hunting with dogs in the U.K., it looks from the pictures. So
9 maybe it was Jeffrey that needed Ghislaine and her connections
10 and not the other way around.
11 And does that motive even make sense for a woman in
12 her 30s, that she needs this lifestyle, so she's just willing
13 to drag 14-year-olds in for sexual abuse? Use your common
14 sense.
15 And if that's the case, your Honor and ladies and
16 gentlemen of the jury, then why wouldn't Eva Dubin be telling
17 you the same thing? She dated Jeffrey Epstein for a decade.
18 She saw nothing abnormal. She let her kids hang around with
19 Jeffrey Epstein. She went on to marry a billionaire.
20 Not one witness came in to tell you that Ghislaine
21 Maxwell needed Jeffrey Epstein's lifestyle so bad she was
22 willing to perpetrate on young females.
23 I'm going to take some time now, after talking about
24 the promises the government did not keep to you in their
25 opening, and go through each one of these women's stories and
