Summary
This document is a court filing from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) dated October 29, 2021, in which the defense objects to specific government exhibits. The defense argues that photographs (Exhibits 251 and 288, description redacted) and a box containing 'Twin Torpedos' (Exhibit 294) seized from Epstein's Palm Beach home in 2005 are irrelevant, prejudicial, and inadmissible under Federal Rules of Evidence.

The Government has proffered a number of exhibits that it apparently intends to
introduce at trial. It is difficult to assess the admissibility of some of the exhibits pretrial. Others,
however, such as the ones described below, are not relevant in the context of this case, have no
probative value, and are extremely prejudicial. Accordingly, Ms. Maxwell objects to the
following exhibits pursuant to Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 403 and 404(b):
introduce at trial. It is difficult to assess the admissibility of some of the exhibits pretrial. Others,
however, such as the ones described below, are not relevant in the context of this case, have no
probative value, and are extremely prejudicial. Accordingly, Ms. Maxwell objects to the
following exhibits pursuant to Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 403 and 404(b):

Government Exhibit 294 is a box containing an item described as “Twin Torpedos.” This
box was apparently seized during the execution of a search warrant at 358 El Brillo Way, Palm
Beach, Florida, on October 20, 2005. These items are inadmissible for the reasons discussed in
Ms. Maxwell’s Motion to Exclude Items Purportedly Seized During Search of 358 El Brillo Way
on October 20, 2005. In addition to problems related to the evidentiary foundation of these items,
they are not relevant to any issue in this case. The unopened boxes were purportedly seized in
2005, after the end of any conspiracy alleged here. No witness will identify these items as having
been in Ms. Maxwell’s possession or used in connection with any crime alleged in the
indictment.
