32 minutes ago Defense now delivering closing statement By Ben Feuerherd and Tamar Lapin Defense attorney Laura Menninger told the jury that Maxwell “is an innocent woman wrongfully accused of crimes she did not commit.”

“Ghislaine Maxwell is not Jeffrey Epstein,” Menninger said, arguing that prosecutors are targeting the disgraced socialite because of their failure to bring Epstein to trial.

Regarding the testimony of Maxwell’s four accusers, the lawyer declared: “Memories have been manipulated in aid of the money.”

Strange, that the media has no curiosity about whom is in the black books. If only it were people from the Trump family, Gingrich or Matt Gaetz, maybe B.O.R or Tucker Carlson.

I guess we can put all those “She’ll never live to be tried” stories to bed now.

Defense Atty: ... So much so, that my client has been really depressed lately...

Maxwell: What?!

Defense Atty: ... and her depression has led her to not sleep very well, in her lonely cell...

Maxwell: i’m not depressed? I am not depressed.

Defense Atty: i would like to request a postponement until tomorrow morning to fully give my client time to rest. in peace.

The trial is designed to look like something happened, and yet most importantly to protect the “Important” people. The judge and the prosecutor were carefully chosen to obtain the desired outcome. The judge has already been paid off with a new position.

News media trying to paint her as a victim.

The sad fact is that she IS a victim. This is what often happens to the victims of perverts: They start working for the monsters who turned them out and become even bigger monsters. (While 9/10 times their stupid parents sit there congratulating themselves on having a kid who hobnobs with celebrities.)

I heard she was going to “name names” if convicted. I can’t believe she turned out to be that stupid. They aren’t going to be interested in her naming names or allow her to do squat. They are going to lock her away and memory hole her, if not arkancide her.

If she was smart, she would have called those names as defense witnesses. Hillary and Bill on the witness list... probably would not have been a trial.

Or is that what Epstein indicated he would do...

Amazing how motivated the press can be when it’s a conservative. I remember when they were after Sarah Palin. They were going on junkets to Alaska to dig through trash looking for any scrap they could dish on her. But now they’re like sleepy puppies.

I guess we now know why Democrats need friends with private islands.

What I never understood is WHY she stayed in the US. I would have thought she had the means and contacts to get out of the country to Ecuador or some other place with no extradition to the USA.
