CD Media: On Monday, the court will hear the closing arguments in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking criminal case in New York.
The prosecution is expected to paint Maxwell as a sexual predator of minors referring to the testimony of four victims and corroborating testimonies.
The defense is expected to recite their own opening statement that this case is about “memory, manipulation, and money,” and that their client is innocent and the prosecution did not prove their case.
The question remaining for the prosecution is whether they presented facts that lead to a guilty verdict beyond a reasonable doubt.
On Friday, when asked by the judge if Maxwell chose to testify on her behalf, she refused claiming that there was no need to because the prosecution did not present a case that elevated beyond a reasonable doubt.
The question for the defense is whether their defense was even a defense at all that could save Maxwell from a guilty verdict. more
I am always saddened when I hear of the pending suicide of a friend ……………
And yet those who used Epstein’s service will escape with no consequences. Thanks for nothing politicians and national media.
I heard that she was going to testify in her defense but has now decided not to. They have silenced her with threats if she exposes what she knows.
Yes, Wyatt, the perverts who paid for sex with children escape untarnished – including Bill and Hill Clinton, John Roberts, Rahm and Zeke Emanuel, and a host of others, both well-known and little-known – in politics, the media, Hollyweird, Wall Street, Madison Avenue, and Academia.
The width and depth of perversity and criminality is staggering – and our “justice” system protects both the wealthy and the well-connected.

“Protects” can only apply to a threat. Even a merely in-credible one.
The Rule Of Law(TM) is not fabricated by an external force. Aimed at one and all. And then ameliorated, somehow, by someone, when attacking professional betters.
The Rule Of Law(TM) is fabricated by professional betters, as a Fair And Equitable(TM) attack the workers will pay for against themselves.
And, as long as they do, … meh.
Perhaps sentence her to life in prison as being a chew toy in Sing Sing or Supermax
Anonymous,
Our justice system was designed to counteract the legal system of Britain – which at the time the Constitution was written – had over 300 crimes punishable by death – and, similarly to the French system – had a presumption of guilt.
Our Founders tried to bequeath unto us a better, more humane system.
That we allowed the lawyers to pervert it is on us.
Probably occurred around 1830 but I am too ignorant to know for sure.
But, at this juncture, our “legal” system is (beyond the shadow of a doubt) a tool of oppression and our judiciary is flagrantly opposed to our Constitution.

Trial should have been on Court TV.
