Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The defense attorney (Ms. Menninger) and the prosecutor (Mr. Rohrbach) are discussing a potential witness named Brian before the Judge. The government has decided not to call Brian, and the defense is debating whether to call him despite having him under subpoena, due to concerns about his prior inconsistent statements regarding his sister and the risk of opening the door to prior consistent statements.

1 interview, not because we had some other contact with him.
2 THE COURT: So you have a choice to make whether to
3 subpoena him or not. I'm just trying to understand what the
4 decision point is. The government has indicated they're not
5 calling Brian.
6 MS. MENNINGER: He has a lot of prior inconsistent
7 statements with his sister, your Honor. That's the decision
8 point. He said a lot of things that are inconsistent in her
9 prior statements. We understand if we call him that your Honor
10 is likely to allow them to then bring in the prior consistent
11 statements that they would have elicited had they called him
12 yesterday. So that's a decision point.
13 THE COURT: Okay. You have a decision point whether
14 to call him?
15 MS. MENNINGER: Right.
16 THE COURT: Is there an application with respect to
17 it?
18 MS. MENNINGER: No, your Honor. We have him under
19 subpoena.
20 THE COURT: Mr. Rohrbach.
21 MR. ROHRBACH: I suppose we just flag that Brian has
22 left the district since he's no longer a government witness.
23 If the defense ends up deciding to call him, I suppose that's
24 their choice to make.
25 It sounds like the defense has not yet made a decision
