Defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim writes to Judge Alison Nathan objecting to a second superseding indictment filed against Ghislaine Maxwell just months before the scheduled July 2021 trial. The defense argues this expansion of charges (covering 1994-2004) constitutes tactical gamesmanship and abuse of power, potentially necessitating a delay in the trial. The letter also requests an in-person arraignment and a new bail hearing, citing issues with remote proceedings and referencing Maxwell's difficult detention conditions.
This document is page 15 of a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, likely US v. Ghislaine Maxwell based on the case number) dated June 15, 2020. It provides a string citation of legal precedents from the Southern District of New York (S.D.N.Y.) where judges denied pre-trial bail to defendants during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the defendants citing various health conditions like asthma and diabetes. The text argues that health risks alone have not been sufficient grounds for release in recent comparable cases.
