This document is a transcript of the defense's opening statement in the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, filed on August 10, 2022. The defense attorney, Ms. Sternheim, argues that the jury must focus solely on whether the government can prove the charges against Maxwell, not on the actions of Epstein. She characterizes the prosecution's case as weak, asserting it relies on the testimony of four accusers whose memories are unreliable, corrupted over 25 years, and motivated by a desire for money.
