Summary
Defense attorney Ms. Menninger delivers a closing argument attacking the credibility of a witness named Kate. Menninger highlights that Kate received $3.25 million from the victims' fund, sought a U visa claiming to be 'exceptional,' and admitted to emailing Epstein for decades while having no proof of contact with Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues Kate's memory is flawed due to substance abuse and suggestiveness, specifically challenging her claim of meeting Maxwell at 44 Kinnerton Street in 1994 to qualify for victim compensation.

LCKVMAX6 Summation - Ms. Menninger
LCKVMAX6 Summation - Ms. Menninger
1 felt compelled to contact him. She emailed Epstein for
2 decades, and there's not one single proof of her ever
3 contacting or being in touch with Ghislaine.
4 At the time she met with the government, her lawyer
5 provided a U visa form and asked if they could help with it. A
6 U visa is for people who are exceptional. And she said that
7 she is exceptional. She's a music therapist. And she was
8 starting a foundation, which opened right before Epstein
9 died -- after Epstein died, excuse me, and closed right after
10 she got her $3.25 million from the fund.
11 She claims she was using a fake name during this trial
12 because of her child. But she had used her real name in
13 repeated media appearances and publicly in court about Epstein
14 after her -- after his death.
15 What Professor Loftus tells us about post-event
16 information and suggestiveness would suggest that Kate made her
17 own choices to engage with Epstein when she was over the age of
18 consent. And she made her own choice to blame Ghislaine. And
19 her memory is affected by a decade or more of substance abuse.
20 What I really want to emphasize about Kate though is
21 that she told you she met Ghislaine Maxwell at Ghislaine
22 Maxwell's home in London, and the address is 44 Kinnerton
23 Street. And she said that she met her in 1994. In order to be
24 awarded money from the victims' comp fund, you had to be 17 or
25 younger. So it was important to her story that she say that
