Summary
This document is a page from the sentencing transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on August 22, 2022. The defense attorney argues for a lighter sentence based on 3553(a) factors, citing Maxwell's traumatic childhood marked by her brother's coma and death, and her 'narcissistic, brutish' father. The defense also attempts to mitigate her culpability by characterizing Jeffrey Epstein as 'controlling, demanding, [and] manipulative,' claiming he cast a deceptive shadow over her adulthood.
