This document is page 2 of a legal filing by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense counsel, Bobbi C. Sternheim, filed on February 1, 2021. It details severe technical difficulties Maxwell faces in reviewing terabytes of discovery material at the MDC, including frequent computer crashes, slow processing, and damaged hard drives allegedly mishandled by staff. The filing also alleges that Maxwell is subjected to stricter isolation than other inmates, physical and psychological abuse by guards, and reprisals for reporting mistreatment.
