DOJ-OGR-00008361.jpg

A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. The Government informs the court that, after conferring with the defense, they will not agree to a stipulation regarding the testimony of Robert Glassman. The Government argues that a specific statement in an email is inadmissible and requires context to be understood by the jury.

This legal document, filed on December 9, 2021, addresses the authentication and admissibility of Government Exhibit 52, described as a 'book' or 'household manual' belonging to Epstein and Maxwell. It discusses the defendant's challenge to Alessi's knowledge regarding the exhibit's origins and highlights the manual's contents, which detail practices and relationships between the defendant, Epstein, and other individuals. The document asserts that authentication does not require direct knowledge of creation or seizure, and chain of custody issues pertain to weight rather than admissibility.

DOJ-OGR-00008224.jpg

This legal document, filed on December 5, 2021, is a request from the U.S. Government to the Court in case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE. The Government proposes a specific limiting instruction for the jury to be read before a witness, identified as "Witness-3," testifies. The instruction aims to prevent prejudice by clarifying that any testimony about sexual conduct between Witness-3 and Mr. Epstein is not part of the charged crimes and cannot be used to judge the character or propensity of either Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell.

A representative for the government informs the judge that they are prepared for discovery and have collaborated with defense counsel on a proposed schedule for the trial. The government representative emphasizes their commitment to a thorough review of materials, including an ongoing privilege review of electronic data, and mentions the bulk of materials will be produced by the end of summer. The judge then begins to question the representative about issues with complete disclosure seen in other cases.

This legal document, dated November 6, 2020, details a negotiation between defense counsel and the Government regarding an extension in case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN. The defense proposed four conditions for an extension, including extending motion deadlines and providing discovery materials and victim names.

The document is certified by Assistant United States Attorney Maurene Comey.

This is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding 'United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell'. The Government requests permission to delay the disclosure of sensitive photographs and documents related to victims of Jeffrey Epstein to the defense until eight weeks before trial, citing risks to an ongoing investigation and victim privacy.

This document is page 5 of a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) dated August 24, 2020, addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan. It argues that Protective Orders can be modified as circumstances change and asserts that Ms. Maxwell did not waive her right to seek modification. The text claims the government circumvented Second Circuit processes regarding civil materials for grand jury use and cites various case laws supporting the court's power to modify protective orders.

This document is page 2 of a court order filed on August 25, 2020, in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The Court addresses the Defendant's request regarding pretrial disclosure schedules (denied without prejudice) and conditions of confinement. Specifically, the Court denies Maxwell's request for a court order mandating her release to the general population and specific discovery access, noting that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has already modified conditions to allow her 13 hours of access to discovery materials daily.

This document is page 3 of a government filing in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN), dated August 21, 2020. The government argues against modifying a protective order, asserting that the defendant should not be allowed to use discovery materials from this criminal case in her parallel civil cases. The filing highlights that the grand jury investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators is active and ongoing, and that disseminating these materials could compromise witness privacy and the investigation.

This document is page 4 of a Government filing (Document 41) in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330), dated August 13, 2020. The Government argues against disclosing witness identities prematurely before the July 2021 trial to protect victim privacy. Additionally, the Government rejects the defendant's complaints regarding her confinement conditions at the MDC, asserting that monitoring protocols are appropriate for safety and security, and clarifying that attorney-client calls are visually observed but not audited.

This document is page 2 of a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) dated July 30, 2020. The Court rules in favor of the Government regarding a protective order, restricting Ghislaine Maxwell and her defense team from publicly disclosing the identities of alleged victims and witnesses, even those who may have previously made public statements about Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein. The judge argues that participating in a criminal investigation warrants privacy protection distinct from previous voluntary public statements.
