This document is a page from a government legal filing in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), dated February 25, 2022. The text argues against the defense's claims regarding missing witnesses (Sally Markham, Fontanilla) and disputes the origin of the 'household manual' (Gov Ex 606), citing email evidence (Gov Ex 424) that proves Maxwell was involved in its creation alongside Markham, rather than it being solely the work of 'the Countess.' The prosecution asserts that the absence of these witnesses did not prejudice the defendant's ability to defend herself or impact the facts of the abuse.
This legal document is a portion of a court filing arguing against a defendant's claim of prejudice due to the unavailability of certain witnesses (Pinto, Salhi, Markham, and Fontanilla). The author cites multiple legal precedents, including States v. Long and United States v. Scala, to assert that the defendant's claims are speculative and lack the definite proof of actual prejudice required by law to dismiss an indictment or vacate a conviction. The document concludes that the defense's unsworn assertions about what these witnesses might have testified to are insufficient legal grounds for their motion.
