Summary

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.

"Do your former boyfriends or girlfriends still have some photos of you somewhere in their drawer? Does that make you a sex offender if they are? This is straight up sensationalism, your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury."

Quote #1
"Judge Nathan will instruct you at the end of this case that you are to consider the evidence and you are also to consider the lack of evidence presented to you by the government to meet the highest standard of proof we have in our system, proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Those two concepts are equally important, the evidence and the lack of evidence. 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."
