Summary
This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). Menninger argues that the prosecution is attempting to punish Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein's crimes because he is deceased. She highlights that the government seized nearly 38,000 photographs but only presented a small handful showing Maxwell and Epstein together, questioning what was in the remaining 37,960 photos.

1 We are not here to defend Jeffrey Epstein, he is not
2 my client. The government played you a montage of Epstein's
3 houses, his bank accounts, his artwork, his cars, his planes,
4 his helicopters, his bank accounts, his message pads, just like
5 a sensationalist tabloid would. His private island, his
6 photos, and those, ladies and gentlemen, are for things that
7 Epstein did, things that Epstein had, and perhaps Epstein's
8 crimes, but as we told you in our opening, Ghislaine is not
9 Jeffrey Epstein.
10 The government in this case has now pivoted because
11 Epstein is not here and they said: Her, too; her, too.
12 Ghislaine was there, she must have known. They said, let me
13 show you a bunch of photos of them together, undated photos
14 from unknown times with unknown hairstyles. You've seen them
15 together. She must have known. Ladies and gentlemen of the
16 jury, you heard that the government seized somewhere near
17 38,000 photographs, and they brought you a handful of Jeffrey
18 Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell together. Where are the other
19 37,960 photographs? Who were in those photographs? Was it
20 other girlfriends? Was it other women? Who was it? You don't
21 know. They didn't bring you those photos.
22 You saw in the drawers, where these photos were kept,
23 the binders. You saw the discs where they were kept. And they
24 brought you the most innocuous photos of a couple that once was
25 together, and they didn't even tell you when. This is proof of
