This document is a page from a legal memorandum filed on December 23, 2020, by French lawyer William Julié regarding the extradition of Ghislaine Maxwell. Julié argues that the US-France Extradition Treaty allows France discretion to extradite its own citizens, countering the DOJ's reliance on the 2007 'Peterson case' precedent. The text analyzes the Peterson case, noting it was a discretionary decision by the Ministry of Justice rather than a court ruling, and references a 2007 letter from Senators Obama and Durbin regarding that matter.
