Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell) featuring the cross-examination of a witness named Carolyn. The defense attorney attempts to impeach the witness's credibility by suggesting she has an incentive to lie and questioning her about schizophrenia, substance abuse, and fears of losing custody of her children—allegations the witness denies. The prosecution (Ms. Comey) objects to the line of questioning regarding incentives.
