This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The attorney argues against the reliability of accuser memories, citing expert Dr. Loftus and discrediting Dr. Rocchio, while asserting that 'money is a powerful manipulator.' The text transitions to discussing the six counts against Maxwell, specifically defining conspiracy as an agreement to violate the law.
