Summary
A sidebar transcript page from the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). Defense attorney Ms. Sternheim and the Court discuss the admissibility of testimony from a witness named Matt, specifically regarding whether a female accuser had revealed abuse allegations to him prior to meeting with the government. The Judge challenges the defense's objection, noting they had previously attacked the accuser's credibility regarding her financial background (living in a pool house, losing her home), making this testimony relevant as a 'prior consistent statement.'

2 THE COURT: We discussed this yesterday, didn't we?
3 MS. STERNHEIM: Judge, the witness is going to talk
4 about home life. It's not the subject matter of his testimony,
5 it's whether she revealed to him at a time earlier than meeting
6 with the government allegations concerning Ms. Maxwell.
7 THE COURT: Well, but Ms. Menninger crossed on the
8 veracity of her poverty and financial situation growing up and
9 the relationship with her mother, and I assume that's where
10 we're going.
11 MS. STERNHEIM: I think the government -- I don't
12 think that's the issue here. The issue is whether she stated
13 at sometime earlier that she was abused.
14 THE COURT: Well, that's true. But you've put in
15 issue her credibility about everything. Why did you cross her
16 on whether she grew up poor?
17 MS. STERNHEIM: Because they raised it. They raised
18 the fact that she lived in a pool house. The witness testified
19 under oath that she lost her home after her father died. I
20 don't think that's the issue --
21 THE COURT: So you've attacked her credibility on
22 that. You said her credibility on everything is an issue. You
23 specifically attacked her credibility on that. Why can't it
24 come in as a prior consistent -- you're saying this witness can
25 only testify about --
