Event Details

This legal document, filed on behalf of Ms. Maxwell, argues that she did not attempt to avoid arrest. The defense counters the government's claims by stating they would have arranged for a self-surrender if asked and that her actions during the arrest, such as moving to an interior room and having a phone wrapped in tin foil, were pre-arranged security measures to protect her from the press, not to evade law enforcement. This claim is supported by a newly obtained statement from the head of her security company.
