Summary

This page is a transcript from a court hearing dated April 1, 2021 (Case 21-770), likely related to Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal regarding detention. The defense attorney argues that the defendant is not a flight risk ('opposite of hiding') and contends that the perjury charge—stemming from a denial of guilt during a deposition—should not heavily weigh the 3142 analysis against release. The attorney notes the government has been investigating the case for ten years.

1 regular contact with the government, is removed in a property
2 in the United States. That's the opposite of hiding. So we
3 think that those kinds of facts, I'm sure, your Honor, if your
4 Honor decides to keep the proceedings open and give us a chance
5 to come on some issues, I'm sure we will have some more facts
6 tomorrow and the next day, all with the disclaimer, we just

15 analysis that the court has to perform.
16 First and foremost, the defendant is, of course,
17 presumed innocent; and, secondly, the allegation and nature of
18 the perjury, if the court has been through the indictment, is
19 someone who denies guilt, who says they are innocent, is asked
20 in a deposition did you do that and says no, the government
21 charges them with perjury. That is not -- other than the fact
22 that it's an indicted charge, they are still entitled to the
23 weight the court would give a not indicted charge. That's all
24 the weight it should be given .
