Summary
This document is a transcript of a legal summation by Ms. Menninger in a criminal case. Menninger argues that the testimony of a witness, "Jane," is unreliable, claiming her memory has been manipulated by "post-event suggestion" and money over 25 years. Menninger highlights inconsistencies in Jane's story, such as her age and how she met Epstein, contrasting her account with testimony from Juan Alessi and Larry Visoski to discredit the prosecution's narrative and absolve "Ghislaine" of targeting Jane.

The document discusses conflicting accounts of their interactions. The government claimed Jane started spending time alone with Epstein at his house as a 14-year-old, while the speaker argues Jane was older, accompanied by family, and that her story of meeting him has changed.
The speaker, Ms. Menninger, explicitly denies that Ghislaine targeted, invited, or arranged for Jane to meet Epstein, contradicting what the government allegedly promised to prove.
Juan Alessi provided testimony that contradicted Jane's account of her age and who she was with when visiting Epstein's house.
Larry Visoski provided testimony that contradicted Jane's account of her age, stating she was older when she started coming around.
