Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed Aug 10, 2022), likely from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Defense attorney Ms. Menninger is arguing to exclude photographic evidence (Exhibits 332 and 332B), claiming they are manipulated 'PSD files' (Photoshop) rather than original photos. She argues that metadata titles were manually affixed by a person, creating hearsay issues, and that mere possession of a CD found in a home does not authenticate the images.
