Summary
This legal document is a response filed by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The defense opposes the government's motion to unseal grand jury transcripts, arguing that since Maxwell is alive and actively litigating her case (which is pending before the Supreme Court), releasing the transcripts would violate her due process rights. The defense also claims they cannot take an informed position as the Court has denied their request to review the materials themselves.

GHISLAINE MAXWELL,
GHISLAINE MAXWELL’S RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO
GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO UNSEAL GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS
GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO UNSEAL GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS
Although the government did not oppose allowing the defense to review the
grand jury material to assess whether to object to its release, the Court denied that
request. As a result, Ghislaine Maxwell has not seen the material and cannot take
an informed position. Given that she is actively litigating her case and does not know
what is in the grand jury record, she has no choice but to respectfully oppose the
government’s motion to unseal it.

I. INTRODUCTION
Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not. Whatever interest the
public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand
jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and
her due process rights remain.
