This court transcript page from August 10, 2022, details a legal argument during the cross-examination of a witness named Carolyn. An attorney, Mr. Pagliuca, attempts to introduce evidence (paragraphs 207 and 208) concerning Sarah Kellen, arguing it constitutes 'impeachment by omission' because Ms. Maxwell's name is absent. The Court sustains the objection, ruling the evidence inadmissible because, unlike previously discussed documents, it does not reference 'unnamed individual employees and assistants'.

"I view these as impeachment by omission because Ms. Maxwell's name does not appear in any of these paragraphs."Source
"So this is why this one is different than the last document, which is because of paragraph 206 and paragraph 12, which expressly reference other unnamed individual employees and assistants. So on that ground I'll sustain on 207."Source
