Summary
This is page 3 of a legal filing (Document 346) from the Law Offices of Bobbi C. Sternheim in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The attorney argues that incompetence at the MDC (Metropolitan Detention Center) is hindering Maxwell's ability to review vital trial materials and prepare for her defense. Sternheim characterizes the detention conditions as 'extraordinary and onerous' for a nearly 60-year-old non-violent detainee and warns that inaction may erode constitutional rights and delay the trial.

compromised.
The incompetence demonstrated by the MDC is concerning and gives counsel reason to
believe that these problems will continue and that Ms. Maxwell will not receive vital trial
materials with sufficient time to review them and confer with counsel. Counsel have wasted
considerable time and effort to ensure that Ms. Maxwell can prepare for her upcoming trial under
the most extraordinary and onerous conditions of pretrial release for a non-violent detainee with
no criminal history, let alone a woman approaching the age of 60. The cost in time and dollars is
wasteful and unacceptable.
