Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript of a summation given by Ms. Menninger, filed on August 10, 2022. Menninger argues that the jury should doubt the credibility of witnesses Carolyn and Jane, citing their changed stories, the passage of time, and potential financial motivation. She contrasts their testimony with that of witnesses Eva and Michelle, who she claims directly contradicted Jane's allegations of sexual orgies.

1 to yourself based on the word of Carolyn? Would you hesitate
2 to act in a matter of importance to yourself based on the word
3 of Jane? Did they demonstrate to you that their stories were
4 credible? I submit to you that they did not.
5 All of these witnesses have changed their stories many
6 times. Why? Was it a lack of memory? Was it a motivation to
7 change their story? And each change of story should cause you
8 to hesitate to act, and should evidence, the lack of proof
9 beyond a reasonable doubt.
10 There are many reasons to hesitate and many reasons to
11 doubt. You have to use your common sense. Money is a powerful
12 motivating factor. The time that has elapsed has made it very
13 difficult for people to go back and reconstruct their memories,
14 and their memories are highly flawed. How easy is it for
15 someone to get on the stand and say, okay, well, I know I told
16 you many times that I don't remember her being in the room, but
17 now I do. It's pretty easy because no one is here to confront
18 her. Epstein is dead. No one can say that they're lying
19 except asking them questions and pointing out that their
20 stories are not accurate.
21 But Eva and Michelle came in and they told you they
22 absolutely did not participate in sexual orgies that Jane said
23 they did. That should make you hesitate about all of Jane's
24 story.
25 Carolyn swore many times to tell the truth, and all of
2 to act in a matter of importance to yourself based on the word
3 of Jane? Did they demonstrate to you that their stories were
4 credible? I submit to you that they did not.
