This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. The text captures a legal debate regarding witness testimony: first, confirming a female witness will testify only to facts and not offer opinions on 'grooming' (Rule 702), and second, a defense objection by Mr. Pagliuca regarding the government's use of Mr. Buscemi as a 'summary witness' under Rule 1006. The defense argues Buscemi should not analyze complex business or phone records.
