This legal document is a preliminary statement arguing that Ghislaine Maxwell's Sixth Amendment rights were violated. The defense claims the government, rushing to meet a self-imposed July 2, 2020 deadline, improperly used a grand jury from the White Plains Division instead of the Manhattan Division, where the alleged crimes occurred. This resulted in a grand jury pool that significantly underrepresented Black and Hispanic residents, thus denying Maxwell her right to be indicted by a jury drawn from a fair cross-section of the community.

This document is a preliminary statement from a legal motion filed on January 25, 2021, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues that the government violated Maxwell's Sixth Amendment rights by using a grand jury from the White Plains Division rather than the Manhattan Division, allegedly to rush the indictment to coincide with the July 2 anniversary of Jeffrey Epstein's indictment. The defense claims this excluded a fair cross-section of the community, specifically underrepresenting Black and Hispanic residents, despite a Manhattan grand jury being available as early as June 25, 2020.

This document is page 12 of a court filing (Document 859) dated March 24, 2021, from a criminal case involving a defendant named Schulte (likely Joshua Schulte, though found in a DOJ release). The text outlines the court's rejection of the defendant's arguments regarding venue impropriety, affirming that it is constitutional to indict in one courthouse (White Plains) and try in another (Manhattan) within the same district. The court cites the COVID-19 pandemic delays in Summer 2020 as further justification for the procedural flexibility.
