Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript where a defense attorney, Ms. Menninger, is delivering a summation in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. Menninger systematically attacks the credibility of a key witness by highlighting numerous instances where the witness claims she cannot remember crucial details of her alleged encounters with Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. The attorney argues that the witness's lack of memory regarding being touched, kissed, or seeing Maxwell present during sexual acts contradicts the government's case and makes her testimony unreliable.

LCKCmax5 Summation - Ms. Menninger
1 specifically, she's not sure -- you heard the government say
2 their stories were all remarkably similar because they each had
3 their breasts touched. In the trial testimony, she told you
4 she was not sure that Maxwell ever touched her during these
5 encounters. She does not have a recollection, she said in
6 December of 2019, if Ghislaine touched her during these
7 encounters. At trial, she said she doesn't remember that, but
8 it's written here and the government notes, she's not sure
9 Maxwell ever kissed her.
10 She also, the government told you in their closing,
11 that Ghislaine was giving her directions about how to massage
12 Jeffrey Epstein, but that's not what she said on the stand.
13 She said she doesn't recall Ghislaine ever giving her a talk
14 about how to massage Jeffrey.
15 And what other things does she say she doesn't know
16 that Ghislaine ever saw? Never saw this oral sex she said she
17 had to perform in the orgy, she said she never saw hand jobs,
18 she said he never used sex toys on her, she said Ghislaine
19 never saw her have intercourse, and, in fact, she has no memory
20 of Ghislaine being present when Epstein engaged in sexual
21 contact with her. She told me, I don't remember.
22 If she doesn't remember ever being alone in the room
23 with him, then she also doesn't remember the story that she
24 told you on direct about the first time with Ghislaine. And
25 that's also what she confirmed to me on the stand, she had no
