Event Details

This legal document is a preliminary statement arguing that Ghislaine Maxwell's Sixth Amendment rights were violated. The defense claims the government, rushing to meet a self-imposed July 2, 2020 deadline, improperly used a grand jury from the White Plains Division instead of the Manhattan Division, where the alleged crimes occurred. This resulted in a grand jury pool that significantly underrepresented Black and Hispanic residents, thus denying Maxwell her right to be indicted by a jury drawn from a fair cross-section of the community.
