This legal document, part of a court filing, argues against precluding the testimony of 'Minor Victim-3' in the trial of the defendant, Maxwell. The prosecution contends that even if the acts against this victim were uncharged, her testimony is crucial to establish a pattern of abuse, show the defendant's relationship with Epstein, and prove her knowing participation in a conspiracy. The document cites legal precedent to support delaying any decision to strike this evidence until after the government has presented its case at trial.
This document is a page from a legal filing, specifically a memorandum of law, in the case of United States v. Maxwell. The section titled "Applicable Law" argues that the Government is permitted to introduce evidence of acts committed in furtherance of a charged conspiracy. Citing multiple legal precedents, the document asserts that such acts are not considered 'other' acts under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b), but are rather direct evidence of the conspiracy itself and are therefore admissible at trial.
This is page 34 of a legal filing (Document 397) in case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on October 29, 2021. The Government argues against the defendant's motion to exclude certain evidence under Rule 404(b), asserting they provided sufficient notice and Jencks Act materials. The text cites Second Circuit case law to define relevant evidence and justify the admission of uncharged crimes if they are inextricably intertwined with the charged offense.
