Summary

This page is a transcript from the cross-examination of a witness named 'Carolyn' in Case 1:20-cr-00330 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The defense attorney attempts to impeach the witness's credibility by suggesting she has an incentive to lie and questioning her about schizophrenia and alleged past loss of child custody due to substance abuse, which the witness repeatedly denies. Prosecutor Ms. Comey objects to the line of questioning regarding the witness's incentive to stick to her story.
