Summary
This document is a court transcript of a summation by Ms. Menninger, likely a defense attorney. Menninger argues against the credibility of a witness named 'Jane' by suggesting her memory of abuse in New Mexico was implanted by the government's repeated questioning. The attorney emphasizes that Jane does not recall Ghislaine being present with Jeffrey Epstein during any of the alleged abuse, which is a central point for the case.

Summation - Ms. Menninger
1 came in and told you that that is what she told them back in
2 2019, and that's a core detail you're not likely to forget if
3 it's true.
4 Let's take another example, whether there was ever
5 abuse in New Mexico. Jane told you, told the government
6 repeatedly, she had no specific recollection of abuse in New
7 Mexico. So what did the government do? They kept asking her
8 over and over again - remember, they're trying to prosecute a
9 case about transportation and enticement to cross state lines -
10 are you sure there was no evidence? There was no abuse in New
11 Mexico? I have no memory of abuse in New Mexico. Are you
12 sure? Maybe there was some abuse in New Mexico? And finally,
13 after they asked her four times, she suddenly got back a memory
14 of abuse in New Mexico that she testified to here on the stand,
15 that she said someone came to get her, she doesn't know who,
16 and that her heart sank when she was taken to Epstein's room
17 for the abuse. That's not how memory works. That's
18 suggestion.
19 And clearly, for purposes of this case, the most
20 important thing is what did Ghislaine know about what was going
21 on, if anything, between Jane and Jeffrey Epstein. Was she
22 ever in the room as the government told you over and over? And
23 when I asked her, she does not recall if she was ever alone in
24 the room with Ghislaine and Jeffrey for any of the abuse.
25 And not only does she not remember being in the room
2 2019, and that's a core detail you're not likely to forget if
3 it's true.
