This document is an excerpt from a court summation by Ms. Menninger on August 10, 2022. It discusses the burden of proof, the importance of lack of evidence, and argues that the jury should find the defendant not guilty. The summation claims that accusers initially focused on Jeffrey Epstein, later adding Ghislaine Maxwell to their stories, and that accusers sought legal counsel and engaged with the FBI, potentially motivated by financial gain.

What you heard, and more importantly, what you did not hear over the last three weeks is going to convince you that the only correct verdict is not guilty."Source
