Maxwell is expected to challenge the trial judge's refusal to toss her conviction after a juror admitted having failed to disclose before trial that he had been sexually abused as a child.

NEW YORK - Ghislaine Maxwell is expected on Tuesday to ask a U.S. appeals court to throw out her conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, saying a slew of errors marred the case as prosecutors made her a scapegoat because the financier was dead.

The daughter of deceased British media mogul Robert Maxwell is imprisoned in Tallahassee, Florida, and could be freed in July 2037 with credit for good behavior and two years she previously spent in jail. Hundreds of women claimed to be victims of Epstein's abuse, and famous people, most notably Britain's Prince Andrew, who were friendly with him have seen their reputations tarred or destroyed.

Maxwell is expected to claim that prosecutors charged her long after a five-year statute of limitations expired.

what she needs to challenge is the client list being sealed... name the frikken clients... that used her services.- funny how the 'criminal' is required by the courts to not implicate those who actually committed the crimes because those who did commit the crimes are politicians

Maxwell is guilty and needs to name the other guilty people she helped in this sick crime
