This document is a Reply Memorandum filed on March 16, 2021, by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in support of her third motion for bail. The defense proposes a comprehensive bail package including a $28.5 million bond, asset monitoring by a retired federal judge, and renunciation of her British and French citizenships to mitigate flight risk concerns. Attached as Exhibit A is a legal opinion from French attorney William Julié arguing that if Maxwell renounces her French citizenship, she would no longer be protected from extradition by France, countering the French Ministry of Justice's position.

This document is an email dated May 6, 2020, containing the text of a Law360 article. The article details a sentencing hearing for fraudster Terrance Morgan, during which U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman severely criticized the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for terrible conditions at NYC federal jails (MDC and MCC). Judge Berman, who presided over Jeffrey Epstein's case, expressed disappointment that Attorney General William Barr failed to conduct a thorough investigation of the BOP as pledged following Epstein's suicide.

Attorney Anthony Cecutti writes to Judge Engelmayer regarding his client, Justin Rivera, detailing ongoing issues with accessing discovery materials (via laptop) and legal counsel (via video calls) at the MCC. The letter alleges harassment by MCC staff, who referred to Rivera as 'enemy #1', and criticizes the facility's rigid scheduling. The document concludes by contrasting Rivera's harsh treatment with the extensive accommodations provided to Ghislaine Maxwell at the MDC (access to computers, showers, TV, and 13 hours of discovery review daily), arguing that the disparity is based on race, gender, and class.

This document is an email circulating an Associated Press article from March 5, 2020. The article details a criminal investigation by the Justice Department into the flow of contraband, specifically a potential gun, at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, where Jeffrey Epstein had died the previous summer. The investigation caused a severe lockdown impacting inmate rights and legal proceedings, drawing criticism from David Patton of the Federal Defenders of New York.

This legal document, a letter from the law office of Bobbi C. Sternheim, argues that their client, Ghislaine Maxwell, is being subjected to "draconian" and punitive pretrial detention conditions. The letter posits that these harsh measures are not related to Maxwell's own conduct but are a direct result of the government's attempt to repair its reputation following the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in federal custody. The attorney details failed attempts to resolve these issues through internal prison channels and claims the conditions are impeding Maxwell's ability to prepare her legal defense.

This page is from a legal memorandum filed on July 10, 2020, arguing for the pretrial release of Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense contends that the government has failed to prove she is a flight risk or that no conditions exist to assure her appearance, citing the Bail Reform Act and Supreme Court precedent (Salerno) establishing liberty as the norm and detention as an exception. A footnote references a separate letter regarding poor prison conditions, including lack of visitation and legal access, which the defense argues are 'compelling reasons' for release.

This document is a page from a legal filing (dated March 23, 2021) arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail, citing the Reform Act and proposing a strict bail package including an eight-figure bond, renunciation of foreign citizenship, and asset monitoring by a retired judge. The text argues that her continued detention impairs her ability to prepare for trial and subjects her to a 'trial by public opinion.' A lengthy footnote details poor detention conditions at the MDC, including delayed legal mail, technical issues with electronic discovery, and ventilation issues in visiting rooms characterized by an expert as a 'death trap.'

DOJ-OGR-00002790.jpg

It contends that her continued detention is prejudicial, impairing her physical health and ability to prepare for trial, while a footnote details specific issues with discovery access, mail delays, and unsafe visiting conditions at the MDC.
