This legal document is a filing on behalf of Ms. Maxwell, arguing for her innocence. It claims the government's evidence is weak and consists of old, untested hearsay, and that the prosecution is motivated by the 'Epstein Effect'—a need for a scapegoat following the public outrage over Jeffrey Epstein's death in custody. The filing asserts that this effect has biased prosecutors, the Bureau of Prisons, and the public against her.
