This document is a page from the defense summation (closing argument) by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The defense argues that the testimonies of accusers 'Carolyn' and 'Jane' are unreliable because their stories changed over time to implicate Maxwell after pressure from lawyers and the FBI. Specifically, it notes that Carolyn's 2008 lawsuit against Epstein and Sarah Kellen never mentioned Maxwell, and alleges that Jane was coached to identify Maxwell as the woman with the 'foreign accent' present during the abuse.
