Court Filing (Defense Memorandum in Support of Bail) • 710 KB
View

This document is page 7 of a defense motion filed on July 10, 2020, arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail. The defense argues that Maxwell is not a danger to the community (unlike Epstein), that COVID-19 poses a severe health risk in detention hindering her defense, and that she is not a flight risk due to her U.S. citizenship and lack of criminal record. It asserts she stayed in the U.S. and maintained contact with the government after Epstein's arrest rather than fleeing.

This page is from a legal filing (likely a memorandum in support of bail) arguing for the release of Ghislaine Maxwell. It asserts that the government has failed to prove she is a flight risk or that no conditions can assure her appearance, citing the Bail Reform Act and Supreme Court precedent favoring liberty. It also references the COVID-19 crisis and a footnote cites a letter regarding poor prison conditions hindering legal defense preparation.

This document is a page from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail. The defense argues that she is not a danger to the community, cites the health risks of COVID-19 in prison, and claims she is not a flight risk due to her strong ties to the U.S. (citizenship, 30-year residency, family in NY) and her history of cooperation through counsel since Epstein's arrest.
