This document is page 8 of a court transcript filed on September 3, 2019. It discusses the legal concept of 'abatement' following the death of a defendant, citing the Second Circuit case *U.S. v. Wright*. The text explains that upon a defendant's death during a pending appeal, the conviction, indictment, restitution, and forfeiture orders are typically vacated.
This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that victims identified as Sarah and Elizabeth should be permitted to read their victim impact statements aloud at Maxwell's criminal sentencing. It cites legal precedents, such as United States v. Wilson and Kelly v. California, to support the court's authority to consider such testimony and asserts that doing so will not cause unfair prejudice to Maxwell. A footnote clarifies that Maxwell does not have the right to cross-examine victims during sentencing hearings.
