Ghislaine Maxwell's chance of a fair trial on criminal charges she aided Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of girls could be destroyed by substantial negative publicity if a deposition she gave four years ago were publicly released, her lawyers said.

NEW YORK - Ghislaine Maxwell’s chance of a fair trial on criminal charges she aided Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of girls could be destroyed by substantial negative publicity if a deposition she gave four years ago were publicly released, her lawyers said.

Maxwell’s deposition had been taken in April 2016 for a now-settled civil defamation lawsuit against the British socialite by Virginia Giuffre, who said Epstein kept her as a “sex slave” with Maxwell’s assistance. The lawyers also said an unsealing would cause irreversible and unconstitutional negative publicity, and undermine the “truth-seeking function” of Maxwell’s trial by leading witnesses to “recast their memories of events from decades ago.”

She was arrested on July 2 in New Hampshire, where prosecutors said she was trying to evade capture, and is being held in a Brooklyn jail after a judge called her a flight risk.Epstein was found hanged at age 66 last August in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Just lock her up for ten years then without a trial, it is bloody obvious she is guilty!!

Really can’t get worse

LoL I want this guy to represent me 😂😂

Trying anything to keep the names out of the press. Lots of heros are going to be destroyed.

She looks sexy as fuck in this drawing

A trial should be held in a courtroom, not the media.

WTF ... depositions are designed to be used in court. It is pure speculation that a 'prospective' juror sees it, however it is guaranteed the actual jury will see it. So ANY impact it has on thw trial is unavoidable. TRANSPARENCY!

This sounds like someone that killed both his parents arguing for leniency.... after all consider that the defendant is an orphan!

Of course 😂🤦‍♂️ Who is afraid of exposing these information? Why are u not interested in? These people are sick!

it will be heard at trial anyway, the victims need justice, all the women(children) from around the world

So they're going to release it secretly? 🤦‍♂️

The victims never got a fair trial

Let me guess it implicated high profile politicans and celebrities in rape

We’ve all watched the Netflix documentary.

I think if it were released there would be revelations that would implicate Trump most likely. That’s what this is all about. CNN TIME

Lightofsun12 Uhhhh... It will be viewed at trial anyway.

.... so it’s THAT incriminating?

Bull Shit ! We have had many trials in this country that have had negative effects on public opinion !! Jerry Sandusky just to name one ! This Country can handle it ! Damn !!

let the shit hit the fan, she just might like that. gross perv

maxwell is going down 9/22, motion for protective order will be DENIED. let time stand still while truth rings, and freedom sings... Maxwell will have to be convicted, no remorse. her lawyers r best money can buy. sell out losers representing disguising creature of the dark.

Too bad too sad?

evil is as evil does

Everyone wants to know what she knows...is her 'suicide' not far behind?

Did the fresco lady get a job as courtroom sketch artist?

lmao like we care about her fair trial. give us the fkn details.

If she's innocent, then she should cherish the idea of publicizing her case. In any event, aren't trials based on facts?

Court of public opinion might catch up with the other ShitWeasels

The outcome is obvious, trial by media, unfair bias, goes free, the important people are free keep their good name intact and she lives banished to island somewhere with few hundred million dollars in the bank.

That usually means there is a lot of evidence against her. Spread away!!! She needs to be treated just like anyone of us would be.

The inflection in this voice suggests this would be a bad thing 🤔🤔🤔 Well I’m sure no one wants to see it now

If you wish a child trafficker good luck, you’re a child molester

Inquiring minds want to know

Time for them to all be unsealed.

Is it because of the massive pedophile ring she helped orchestrate? I think it is because of the massive pedophile ring she helped orchestrate.

Lol

Ghilslaine, give everybody up and we'll make this aaaaallll go away.

Nice try....

It would be hard to trick people to trust again so high ranking people after learning they fck little girls.

Make them public now!

Gee whiz i wonder what’s in that..

So the Clinton’s have gotten you too?

So that's a 'yes' on whether she did heinous shit or not, then?

Almost amusing that you thinking she will make it to trial My money is Rona for Ghislaine, Random acts of violence Planes trains and automobile 'accidents' for the rest

'Lawyers for Maxwell... [say] her constitutional rights to remain silent and get a fair trial by an impartial jury outweigh any presumption of public access.' But... 'Maxwell is separately seeking to have prosecutors identify the three accusers in her indictment' Lol.

Perhaps we should just let her off and buy her a villa in Tuscany. 🙄

You mean, Implicate potus?

In what sense is molesting and trafficking young girls fair for anyone Lets see who else was upto it

Too bad. Was she fair to the victims?
