Mega Edition: Day Number 20 Of The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (3/28/26)

What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

Today is the third day that the Jerry is deliberating in the Galane Maxwell trial.

And we all are waiting for the verdict.

Now, as we do that, we're going to dive into an article this morning from the daily

beast about some of the bombshells that we have heard throughout the testimony,

leading us up to this point.

So it's a relatively long article.

So we're just going to dive right in.

Now, like I said, this article is from the daily beast, the headline flights

with Trump, pregnancy picks, and latex costumes, the biggest bombshells

from Galane Maxwell's trial.

The author of this article is Kate Bricklett and shout out to Kate for doing

a great job throughout this whole entire thing.

She's been very consistent with her reporting.

And one of the very, very few, honestly, who has remained consistently good

throughout this whole entire ordeal.

So make sure you go and give Kate a follow on like social media or, you know,

follow her work on the daily beast or whatever.

But she definitely deserves a tip of the cap for the fantastic job she has done

here. And, you know, she has been very fair in her reporting.

Let's remember that it was the daily beast that broke the story about

Galane Maxwell's nephew, Alexander Dorasi, working for Hillary Clinton State

Department. So, you know, Kate has done very good work here.

And it's always a joy to add one of her articles to the catalog.

So with that said, let's take a look.

Galane Maxwell's sex trafficking trial wrapped up earlier than expected

with testimonies spanning 12 days rather than the anticipated six weeks.

The defense called only eight witnesses on Thursday and Friday before arresting

its case. The socialite, that co-conspirator general all around Scusbag,

who turned 60 on Christmas day is accused of recruiting teenage girls for

Jeffrey Epstein, the late multi-millionaire pedophile and her former boyfriend,

allegedly, to sexually exploit through massages in the 1990s and early 2000s.

She also was accused of abusing some victims herself.

She has pleaded not guilty and denied any involvement with Epstein's crimes.

You know, it's funny.

You would think that if you didn't have anything to do with Epstein's crimes,

that you would have come out right away after Epstein was arrested and gave a

full account of what occurred. No, I didn't do this.

I wasn't involved in that. I certainly didn't hurt anybody.

In fact, I was a victim myself, but there was never any of that.

It was there. The only time that we start hearing about, oh, I'm a victim is

when the hammer starts to swing down and then she's in legal jeopardy.

Now she's a victim, anything to try and wiggle off of the hook.

There is nothing, no plan, no plot that Golan Maxwell wouldn't get involved

in to try and stay out of trouble.

The jury began deliberating late in the afternoon on Monday, after closing

arguments and will resume their discussions on Wednesday morning.

Prosecutors called 24 witnesses in 10 days, including the four victims listed

in the indictment against Maxwell, who was young as 14 when Epstein molested them.

Two accusers testified under the pseudonyms Jane and Kate, a third Carolyn,

used her first name, and the last Annie Farmer was identified by her full name.

The women described Maxwell as the financier, pedophiles, chief accomplice,

who recruited them into his teenage sex ring, groomed them, and facilitated the abuse

at his homes around the world.

Now, with all that we know, leading up to this, and then the testimony that we heard,

how in the world could there be any other verdict besides a guilty one?

Now again, I will not be shocked no matter what happens.

If there's a not guilty verdict on all accounts, I would shake my head and, you know,

accept the fact that that's just how the government is, right?

It's just the way it goes.

But I think that in this in this situation, I think that there's going to be

enough to convict and it's probably just my cynicism talking when I say, oh, boy,

there's a, you know, the, she's going to walk or anything like that.

When I get those doubts, it's probably just my cynicism speaking.

But I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't put anything past the federal

government and when it comes to situations like this court cases and until something

is locked and loaded and you have a verdict, anything is possible in the American

justice system when you're dealing with the elite.

Now, if it was you or I on trial, this would be a done deal.

A rap and we would have been under the prison already.

But you have to factor in the, the added little piece that the land Maxwell is part

of the, you know, the big club as George Carlin was so fond of saying.

The trial shed new light on the bond between Epstein and Maxwell, the life of luxury.

They enjoyed while allegedly abusing girls from broken homes or whose family

struggled financially and the supposed code of silence they imposed on their employees.

Here were some of the trials biggest bombshells.

Victim Jane said Maxwell and Epstein abused her during group sex.

Now think about that for a minute.

What sort of sick, disgusting, demented people do you have to be to bring a 14 year

old into your sexual, your group sexual romp?

There's no redeeming factors for people that would do anything like that.

There's no fixing people like that.

The first victim to testify Jane said that when Epstein and Maxwell began abusing

her when she was only 14 in 1994, Maxwell seemed very casual and like it was very

normal and not a big deal.

That's because of the normal, the normalization process, right?

When you go back and you look at the grooming and how all of this comes into play,

you have to have it normalized first for these girls to accept what's going on.

And that's a critical role that Maxwell played.

The couple allegedly began to train her sexually and include her in group sexual

encounters with other adult women.

Jane shared the first names of several women who allegedly participated in group

sexual encounters with her when she was under age.

Eva, Sophie, Michelle, and a British woman named Emmy.

Jane claims Maxwell and Epstein recruited her when she was attending the prestigious

interlockance summer camp where Epstein was a donor and had use of a scholarship

lodge when he visited the Michigan school every year.

Not only did he have use of the lodge, he had his name on the lodge.

He was donating so much money there that they put his name on the lodge.

Think about that for a minute.

This monster had access to that lodge at this school with all them kids running

around. Now that's not to say he was, you know, on, on this campus, using it as

a, uh, a fertile hunting ground, if you will, but the, the, just idea that

somebody like this could have access to all of these children with a location

right on the school property is just beyond the pale.

Jane told jurors she had just lost her father to cancer and was living with

her mother in siblings and a family friend's pool house.

According to Jane, Epstein paid for her voice lessons, private school in New

York, and other bills her mother couldn't afford.

When she first visited the pool at Epstein's Florida estate, she saw at least

four women in Galen, all topless, and some of them were naked.

Again, the normalization of it all, from the time you walk in till the time

you leave, this is how we do things here.

And if you want to be part of this crew, if you want to be part of this

upper crust world and society, you're going to have to play the game.

And that's how these operations they, they kick in, right?

They get these girls there.

They see the other girls and women.

A lot of them seem to be high brow and these young girls from broken homes.

They think, well, hey, this is how the other side lives, I guess.

And before you know it, it's just normalized behavior to them.

Kate said Maxwell forced her to wear a schoolgirl uniform.

The 44 year old British woman testified that Maxwell began grooming her when

she was 17 in 1994.

Kate met Maxwell during a trip to Paris with her boyfriend, who was an Oxford

classmate and a socialite.

Maxwell, who was in her 30s, invited Kate to tea at her London townhouse weeks

later.

I was quite excited to be friends with her, Kate testified, adding, I felt

that I had found a new connection that could really be meaningful to me.

First rule, don't go and drink tea with anyone who invites you to go and drink

tea. It's kind of creepy, right?

Oh, yeah, why don't you come over and have a cup of tea with me?

What?

No stranger danger.

I mean, I don't, I don't get it.

Like again, maybe it's just my view of the world and how jaded I've become

with things, but zero chance that I'd be engaging with some stranger that I met

on the street.

I don't care if she's posh or not.

I mean, no, I'm cool.

I'll pass on coming to get some tea at your house, who just invite somebody

over to their house for tea that they just meet.

It's just it's all weird to me, right?

The whole scene is just weird to me.

But that friendship turned dark, Kate testified after Maxwell introduced

her to Epstein and urged her to give him massages that quickly turned sexual.

She said that she needed massages all the time and it was very difficult to keep up.

Kate said when she was 18, Maxwell and Epstein invited her to Palm Beach

where Maxwell allegedly directed her to wear a schoolgirl costume.

According to Kate, Maxwell handed her a tray of tea and directed her to serve

the money manager, pedophile, who then engaged in a sex act with her.

She asked me if I had fun and told me that I was such a good girl.

And that I was one of his favorites, Kate said, because Kate was of the age of

consent in the UK during the pattern of abuse, jurors were instructed that she's

not a victim as charged in the indictment.

So again, just because she was the age of consent,

how is it that this guy is not charged with abuse?

I mean, obviously, he was grooming them.

Obviously, there was other things going on.

And if you can't get him for the age of consent, right, because she's that age,

there got to be another way to go about Nell and his ass.

I mean, if he was in the mafia, they would have found a way, right?

How did they get Al Capone?

Certainly wasn't all the murders and all the mayhem, they got them on tax evasion.

And at the end of the day, I really don't care what you put somebody in prison for,

as long as they go to prison when they deserve it.

Carolyn told Epstein and Maxwell she was too young to travel with them.

The Florida woman told jurors that she was molested by Epstein from the age of 14 to 18

when she became too old for the sex predator, who eventually asked her if she had any younger friends.

Carolyn testified from 2001 to 2004.

Maxwell would help schedule her massage sessions and greet her in the kitchen when she showed up.

She would just let me know Mr. Epstein would be in the back.

He was on a jog or he would be back any moment, Carolyn said.

I could go upstairs and set up.

Carolyn said she can fight it in Epstein and Maxwell about trauma in her past.

Her grandfather raped her and molested her starting when she was four,

and her mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol.

She added that the couple knew her age because they had invited her to visit Epstein's US Virgin Islands compound.

She told Maxwell that I was too young and there is no way and hell my mom was going to let me leave the country.

Despite this, Carolyn claims, Maxwell continued booking the massage sessions

and even groped her one day when she was setting up the massage table.

She came in and felt my boobs and my hips and my buttocks and said that I had a great body for Mr. Epstein and his friends.

So all of the testimony that these girls gave, it all was leaning in the same direction of what Maxwell was up to and what she was doing.

What her role was here and the fact that she was the comfort zone for these girls.

The one that they show up and they feel a lot more secure with Maxwell there as opposed to just showing up in Epstein hanging out in a robe.

It goes to show at least they hope the jurors, the crucial role that Maxwell played within all of this.

Any farmer said she was forced to give Epstein a foot rub before Maxwell grobbed her.

Now 42, farmer recalled a nightmarish weekend alone with Epstein and Maxwell in New Mexico.

A trip her mother believed would be an academic gathering for 20 to 25 students.

She was a 16 year old girl.

The couple were in their 30s and 40s and they took her shopping into a movie theater where she said Epstein right away began to hold my hand and caress it

and rub on my foot and on my arm.

I mean it's like what do you like 15, 16?

You get you get you're on your first date at the movie theater and you go right in to grab a little hand holding.

The dude was just wired completely fucked up.

Jeffrey Epstein was one of the most disgusting heinous human beings in the history of the world in my opinion.

And anyone who acts like they had no idea what he was up to when they were hanging around him, they're lying.

That is my honest opinion.

When they returned to Epstein's ranch, Maxwell taught farmer how to give Epstein a foot massage.

He seemed, you know, to be enjoying it, farmers testified adding that he made groaning noises.

Asked how, asked how she felt about it, farmer said, I felt very uncomfortable.

I did not want to be touching his feet.

Maxwell then asked farmer if she'd had professional massage before and offered to give her one.

Farmer said they went to her guest room where Maxwell set up a table and told her to get undressed.

Farmer took off her clothes and laid face down under his sheet before Maxwell began rubbing her legs and making small talk.

But according to farmer, Maxwell then directed her to turn over and pulled the sheet down before groping her chest.

Farmer said she was frozen and wanted badly to get off the table and have this massage be done.

Farmer added that the door to the room was open and she sensed that Epstein could see her.

So while she's being molested and groped by sick asgolane Maxwell,

old Jeffrey Epstein disgusting ass is standing in the hallway watching.

These people are absolutely disturbed.

Maxwell allegedly warned Epstein's butler never to look him in the eye.

In some of the trial's most explosive testimony, Epstein's former Palm Beach butler, Juan Alessi,

described how his responsibilities included cleaning up the financier, pedophiles, massage rooms,

rinsing off sex toys, and restocking them in Maxwell's bathroom closet,

which also held pornographic tapes and a black vinyl or leather black costume.

I mean, when I hear that, I think about in American Horror Story, the do that shows up in the leather outfit.

In the murder house and starts killing people, that's what I think about when I hear about a black vinyl or leather black costume.

I mean, really?

He also stocked Epstein's vehicles with $100 bills.

Victims including Carolyn testified that Epstein paid her cash and that denomination.

Well, they had to have the hundies in the car, right? Epstein had to be able to pay people,

and you know, if they found a new bile that they wanted to swoop up, they had to have a few hundies

so that they could make off and say that they were, you know, just buying prostitutes.

That was the alibi, that weak ass, transparent ass alibi, and the federal government and the state government went for it.

Straight garbage.

These are little girls that he's paying to have sex with. It's not prostitutes.

Alessie testified that he saw many, many, many females visit Epstein's lair and often saw topless young women lounging by the pool.

He said he knew two of Epstein's young visitors were underage at the time.

He also detailed how Maxwell ordered him and the other staff to follow a 58-page household manual

with seemingly endless checklists of tasks at Epstein's Florida Mansion,

including ensuring a gun was placed in the bedside table of the master bedroom.

The booklet contained directives such as remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing,

except to answer a question directed at you.

It's like the monkeys, right? Hear nothing, say nothing, say nothing?

That's what it was like to work with for Jeffrey Epstein, huh?

Asked about this rule, Alessie testified, it means a kind of warning that I was supposed to be blind deaf and dumb to say nothing of their lies.

The documents order also stated, unless otherwise instructed,

never disclose Mr. Epstein or Miss Maxwell's activities or whereabouts to anyone,

and advise Miss Maxwell of any strange phone calls or inquiries.

So again, it goes to the point of Maxwell being the head honcho here.

Why would he be reporting to Maxwell if she wasn't the one with her feet at the controls?

Why would he be reporting to Maxwell if she wasn't the one making the decisions?

So of course, Colleen Maxwell played a key role here.

Alessie, who worked for Epstein from 1991 to 2002, said the manual involved an incredible amount of work and was very degrading to me.

He said Maxwell once told him never to look Epstein in the eyes when addressing him.

The ex-house manager said he typically worked from 5 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m., a job he later described as slavery.

When defense lawyer, Jeff Pagliucha, suggested none of the female masseuses complained about being hurt or coerced into doing anything,

Alessie replied, no, they never did, but I wish they would have, because I would have done something to stop it.

Yeah, okay. Everybody wants to be the hero in their own story, right?

I would have, I could have, I should have. The fact of the matter is, you didn't.

You didn't do anything on Alessie, you let this happen, just like the rest of them, you knew the deal, you knew what Epstein was,

but you still let this happen while you were there.

Boy, I gotta tell you what, if I was in Alessie shoes, forget it, I would have no chance I'd work for somebody like this.

I mean, are you kidding me right now? Yeah, I'm sure when you first get hired, it seems like a dream job.

Then you start to figure out what's going on, and you don't run for the hills, you stay there for 10 years?

Says a lot about Alessie, honestly.

Trump, Clinton and Mike Wallace were among Epstein's famous pals.

Former Epstein pilot, Larry Vesosky, named several VIPs who flew on the finance here,

pedophiles private jet, including Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, Britain, Britain's Prince Andrew, superstar violinist,

it's sock pro-men, actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, former senator George Mitchell, and former senator and astronaut John Glenn.

As if Robert Kennedy Jr. took a jaunt on Epstein's plane, Vesosky said he didn't recall.

So we knew about all of that stuff, right? We knew about all of those people on that plane.

None of that's really that new in the overall story or picture of the story.

But one thing is interesting, up until recently we had only heard of one flight by Trump on the plane with Epstein.

Now there are several more.

So again, as you peel back the layers, more of the onion is exposed.

And just like with Bill Clinton, I'm not going to sit here and say that, you know, oh yeah, Donald Trump was engaging in abusing children with Jeffrey Epstein.

That's certainly not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is he certainly enabled Jeffrey Epstein for years and years and years while they were friends.

And it's not even debatable.

And I know there's zealots out there, right? People who are absolutely zealous about their politician.

Oh, he's my favorite. He could never do anything like that breaking news.

All your favorite politicians are scumbags, okay? Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, all of them.

And it's not even close to a conversation.

It's to think that Donald Trump wasn't hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein on a regular basis. These dudes were tight.

The defense took pains to introduce other high profile names, asking witnesses throughout the trial about Victoria's secret mogul, less Wexner, Manhattan billionaire, couple, Glenn and Eva Dubin,

recently under fire over their decades-long friendship with Epstein, and Maxwell's former flame, multi-millionaire, gateway co-founder, Ted Wait.

James said Epstein and Maxwell often bragged about high-powered friends, including Trump, Clinton, and the late TV reporter Mike Wallace.

They would sort of name dropper or sometimes put people on speakerphone whose voices I didn't know. And then say, oh, this was so-and-so.

Jane told jurors, adding that the couple would say that they were very well connected and affluent. And again, it goes back to what I always talk about with the legacy media.

You got to remember that Mike Wallace was a very powerful man within the media for a very long time. And the fact that he's hobnobbing around with Jeffrey Epstein,

you don't think that he has other friends in the media? You don't think that he helped to squash some of these stories about Epstein that were coming out?

Of course he did. Why do you think Epstein hung out with people in the media? Everything that Epstein did, him and Maxwell, it was because it was planned out.

There were a lot of things, but tactically, they were very, very smart.

Jane added that during a visit to New York, when she was 15, she sang happy birthday to Wallace at his 80th birthday party.

Epstein also allegedly introduced her to Trump during his visit to Mar-a-Lago Resort in Palm Beach. I mean, isn't that nice?

Hey, Donald Trump, buddy old palamine. Why don't you meet my 14-year-old friend?

Yeah, but you know, everything was just kosher and normal. Nobody knew anything about what was going on.

Carolyn believed Maxwell was once pregnant. Now, this was one that caught me off guard too. I had never heard anything about Maxwell being pregnant, so if there was a pregnancy, that certainly is something new to me.

Throughout the trial, Maxwell's legal team asked witnesses, including Vesosky and fellow pilot David Rogers about whether they'd ever seen the socialite pregnant before. They said no.

The queries and apparently an attempt to discredit Carolyn, who previously told the government of seeing a photo of an expectant Maxwell in Epstein's Florida home.

When Pagliucci asked Carolyn about the image, she replied, Newton pregnant, laying on the before he cut her off. There were multiple pictures, nude photos Carolyn later added.

So, again, I've never heard anything about a pregnant, Elaine Maxwell. So if there is not a picture like that, then of course the defense is going to use that to help bolster their argument that Carolyn misremembered, that she was lying, that, you know, she's not telling the truth, so they'll definitely try and use that for sure.

Epstein's assistants were Maxwell fan girls. Yeah, we all know that because Maxwell was the underboss, right? If we're talking about it like the mafia, okay? This is an easy way to understand it. Jeffrey Epstein, the godfather, Glenn Maxwell, the underboss.

Jean-Luc Brunel, the consigliary. And then the core four, Kellyn, Groff, Ross, Marc, Marc Soncova, those are like the capos, right? And then that's your whole leadership structure there.

Two defense witnesses, former Epstein employees, Kimberly Espinoza and Michelle Healey, shared glowing memories of Maxwell. And while they both met the victim known as Jane in the 90s, they testify that they believed she was an adult.

Espinoza said Epstein's office initially hired her as a legal assistant, but that Maxwell quickly recruited her to become a full-time executive assistant.

I highly respected Galein, Espinoza testified. I looked up to her very much. Espinoza added that she kept in touch with Maxwell even after leaving for another opportunity in 2002.

And that Maxwell got her a job interview with wit, with weight, and allowed her to stay at her London townhome three years ago during a vacation to Europe.

Espinoza, who hasn't commented publicly about her ties to Epstein and Maxwell before, was accused in a victim's lawsuit of arranging Epstein's massage sessions with a teenage victim in New York.

And that's really the crux of this, right? And what is so frustrating to people who have been following this case forever?

Because the scope is so small here. All of these people that were booking these massages of these girls should be caught up in a Rico case.

But instead, we have this small scope and we give them wiggle room.

And the blame for that has to lay right directly at the feet of Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice.

The dude is a wet noodle. I can't believe people were pining for this guy to be on the Supreme Court. He is an absolutely atrocious attorney general.

We're talking bill bar level atrocious.

Healy, who was a receptionist for Epstein from 1996 to 1999, said that Jane looked like a grown-up to me because she had a lot of makeup on.

Yeah, because that makes you a grown-up because you have a lot of makeup on.

The insanity of it all, folks, the insanity of it all.

And that's the excuse for all of these people that were around them, right? Ah, she looked old enough to me. Oh, she had big breasts. Oh, she was wearing a lot of makeup.

A lot of excuses, but yet not anyone held accountable.

Of Maxwell, Healy Gush, that the socialite co-conspirator was a fantastic boss. She taught me a lot. Healy said, I respected her.

She was tough, but she was great. Oh, yeah, great at being an absolute scumbag.

Financial records revealed Maxwell received millions from Epstein.

The government called Patrick McHugh an executive at JP Morgan to testify about a million dollar transfers from Epstein to Maxwell.

In October of 1999, Epstein sold 18.3 million dollars worth of shares in a money market fund, then transferred the cash to one of Maxwell's accounts.

Bank records also showed Epstein wired 5 million to Maxwell in September 2002.

In June 2007, according to McHugh's testimony, Epstein wired 7.4 million to an account for Maxwell.

That account then transferred 7.35 million to an account for Erigeland Incorporated, which wired the funds to Sikorsky Aircraft in Connecticut to Bihelocopter.

So, again, it'll gotten gains, right?

Being transferred amongst co-conspirators is exactly what Rico was made for, and I'm going to keep saying it until you're tired of me yelling about it.

Until you don't want to hear the word Rico anymore, until you start calling me Uncle Rico, because I don't even understand how the prosecution can wake up in the morning and look themselves in the mirror knowing they're leaving all of this out there on the table.

Sarah Kellin and alleged co-conspirator was repeatedly named, but never testified.

When Epstein secured his controversial 2008 plea deal, the document granted an immunity to potential co-conspirators, including Sarah Kellin, Leslie Groff, Adriana Ross, and Nadia Marcincova.

From day one, however, Kellin's name has haunted the trial.

In our opening remarks, Sternum noted that Carolyn, twice, sued Epstein and Kellin, but her complaint didn't mention it on Maxwell.

Vesosky indicated he spoke to Kellin and assistant for Epstein, the most when it came to scheduling, the financier, pedophiles, flights.

The defense also asked fellow pilot Rogers whether Kellin took over as Epstein's main assistant in 2001.

And when Fed's presented evidence of FedEx invoices, Kellin was listed as the sender of a package to underage Carolyn.

So I know what you're saying to yourselves right now.

How in the hell is Sarah Kellin vickers not indicted here?

How is she not being brought up on charges?

And it's a question that all of us are asking.

Because the fact that she was so intimately involved here, the fact that she had her fingerprints over so many different pieces of evidence here,

is just mind numbing.

And she goes on to live her jet-setter's life with her NASCAR husband, huh?

During a charging conference on Saturday, defense lawyer Christian Everdell referred to individuals who we normally may have considered calling as a witness,

but who the government clearly could have charged criminally based on the testimony we heard.

And they won't name names if we don't want to do that.

But I think we probably know who we're talking about here, Everdell continued.

He said that if we tried to call that witness or those witnesses, they undoubtedly would have invoked their Fifth Amendment rights.

I'm happy to say the name, Everdell said, it's Sarah Kellin.

And think about that for a minute.

This lady is able to avoid being under oath once again, and it all comes back to that non-prosecution agreement.

You want to talk about throwing a wrench into the situation.

It's the only thing that's keeping people like Sarah Kellin Vickers from being in prison right now.

And it's something that needs to be overturned.

And I really hope that when the Supreme Court gets a look at it, they take the case and they overturn it.

Because Sarah Kellin Vickers and the rest of the Corps 4, they all need to be brought up on charges.

And I'm going to be posting a seven-part series about the Corps 4 and the women who enabled Epstein.

Maxwell announced she wouldn't testify and again proclaimed her innocence.

On Friday, before the defense rested its case, Nathan asked Maxwell whether she intended to testify.

I want to make sure that you know that the decision whether to testify or not is your decision.

You are entitled to the best advice of your attorneys in making this decision.

But the decision is yours.

Miss Maxwell, do you understand that?

Your Honor said Miss Maxwell, who stood up with her lawyers.

The government has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and there is no need for me to testify.

Well, I don't know about that.

I mean, I think that if Maxwell really wanted to bolster her case and prove that she was innocent, she would have testified here.

But I guess we'll see what occurs with the verdict, because maybe her lawyers do know what they're doing.

Epstein's mis-sweetened ex-girlfriend testified for Maxwell, but couldn't remember much.

She was worthless on the stand, honestly, and what it does just shine more spotlight on her and Glenn Dubin for their role in all of this, honestly.

Eva Anderson Dubin, a former Miss-sweetened and doctor who dated Epstein in the 80s and early 90s, was the defense witness last Friday.

The decision to call Dubin raised eyebrows, as she and her billionaire husband, Glenn, have faced scrutiny over their ties to Epstein in the wake of his death.

The Dubin stood by Epstein after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in Florida and served time in a Palm Beach County jail.

For decades, they welcomed Epstein around their children who called him Uncle F, Uncle Jeffy, how disturbing is all of that.

Imagine having your children around Jeffrey Epstein and then calling him Uncle F.

Dubin testified that she didn't recall meeting Jane or flying with her on Epstein's plane.

She also said she never saw a troubling behavior from Epstein toward minor girls, but as the prosecution pointed out,

Dubin lately has encountered memory problems because of a medical issue.

Sometimes I can't remember things from last month, Dubin told jurors, my family notices it, so why even bring her up on the stand waste of time?

And again, it just puts more spotlight on her and her family.

Other Epstein survivors showed up to watch the trial.

Several accusers who aren't victims in the government's case, including Sarah Ransom, dropped in to watch the federal court's overflow rooms where a video feed broadcasts the proceedings on computer screens.

Attorney Brad Edwards, who represented victims of the financier, pedophile, for more than a decade, showed up with Jennifer Callan, a woman who's never told her story about her 13 years of abuse while allegedly trapped in Epstein's world.

Jen Callan was enslaved in Epstein's sex trafficking organization for 13 years, was forced into a marriage and is trying to put her life together.

She realizes people are sticking their necks out and testifying and wants them to know that they're not alone, Edwards told The Daily Beast.

This is someone who essentially held captive for years in the trafficking operation, Edward said.

I mean, the absolute darkness and sadness surrounding this whole thing just can't be talked about enough.

All of the poor people who have been caught up in this, and remember we have only heard from a few.

There are so many unnamed girls and victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cohorts that I can't even begin to think about how many are out there.

Maxwell's family showed up, but not her secret husband.

For her part, Maxwell hasn't been without support. Her siblings, Kevin and Isabelle, were in the front row alongside her friend and attorney, Leah Safian.

Kevin Maxwell addressed a flock of press outside the courthouse in the trials first week, saying personally, it gave me a tremendous sense of relief to be close to her, to actually be able to see her in the flesh, even to be able to speak with her.

Kevin then referenced his family's complaint filed with the United Nations last month over her conditions at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

We respect the criminal justice system, and process in this country, and as a result, we are not going to make any other further comments while attending court, Kevin said.

Maxwell's supposed husband, Scott Borgerson, was nowhere to be seen. The Daily Mail reported he's been spotted with a new love interest instead.

A 49-year-old yoga instructor and local journalist and Manchester by the sea, Massachusetts.

And back to the complaints about her conditions. I mean, really, the conditions in jail, what are they supposed to be, you know, five-star conditions?

You know, really out of bad time in jail?

And I did a series on him as well. I'm going to post that soon too, because it gives you an idea of the ridiculousness of Maxwell's complaints when you put it up next to somebody who was actually being abused by the system.

Government released never before seen photos of Epstein's homes and of Maxwell giving them a foot rub mid-flight.

Dozens of government exhibits provided an inside look at Epstein's mansions in Palm Beach in New York with images of massage rooms, sex toys, artwork, and framed photographs of young women throughout his office.

Many photos depicted Epstein and Maxwell in happier days, hugging and kissing, and even posing at a lunch hut at Queen Elizabeth's Balmoral Castle.

But some images were creepy, showing Maxwell giving Epstein bare feet a massage on his private jet, as their buddy and accused predator Jean-Luc Brunel looks on.

During summations on Monday, Prosecutor Alison Mo said one photo showed Maxwell massaging Epstein's foot with her breasts.

In another picture, apparently released to the jury, but not the public, Maxwell and Epstein were nudeness-wimming pool.

Well, that's a picture I'm glad that we haven't gotten to see. Certainly don't want to see that.

Maxwell's lawyer blurted out victims' real names in court.

Gaps, gasps, were heard in the courtroom overflow room when defense attorney Jeff Pagliucha, while cross-examining Alessi, said James' real first name in court.

The government immediately called for a sidebar, during which, according to court transcripts, Pagliucha said his supposed blunder was completely unintentional.

Prosecutor Maureen Komi then said, your honor?

Given that Mr. Pagliucha represented that he had prepared to cross-examine this witness on his testimony, I think we need to have a plan going forward for how to make sure this does not happen again because, clearly, Mr. Pagliucha has not prepared enough.

The witness herself did the same thing. It happens, Judge Nathan answered. My perception was that it was an accident.

Pagliucha then vowed it won't happen again, but later on in the trial, Pagliucha said the last name of the victim, Carolyn, perhaps twice.

A daily beast reporter heard him say her surname after lunch on December 7th, while a reporter from inner city press documented another blurt of the victim's name hours earlier.

So they've been scummy the whole time, right? And I think it was intentional, looking to dox the victims, make it harder on them. We know that's how the defense likes to roll anyway.

So he can say it's an accident, and, you know, how can you prove it's not?

Maxwell allegedly wrote a third person essay about a relationship with Epstein.

After the Fed seized hard drives found in Epstein's Manhattan home, they discovered a trove of word documents created by a user named GMax.

On one file created in October 2002, was a third person essay about Epstein and Maxwell's romance.

During closing arguments mow quoted from the narrative, which read, Jeffery and Galaine have been together a couple for the last 11 years.

They are a contrary to what many people think, rarely apart.

I almost always see them together, the document concluded, Jeffery and Galaine complement each other really, really well, and I cannot imagine one without the other.

On top of being great partners, they are also the best of friends.

Uh, what?

A couple for 11 years, great partners, rarely apart, best of friends.

Does that sound like a personal assistant compartmentalized from Jeffery Epstein's life motold jurors?

Adding, when you're with someone for 11 years, you know what they like, Epstein liked underage girls.

He liked to touch underage girls. Maxwell knew it.

Defense lawyer, Laura Meninger, however, argue that other people had access to Maxwell's computer.

What on earth makes the government think that Galaine Maxwell was writing an essay about herself and the third person with Jeffery Epstein, she said?

The FBI, Meninger added, wants to just say that this is Galaine Maxwell's document because it's got her name in the metadata.

Please, well, how else would you know if it's hers or not?

I mean, if the name's in the metadata, wouldn't that make it hers?

Ah, maybe it's Santa Claus's.

Maybe Santa Claus snuck in, and he did a little extra writing in Galaine Maxwell's computer files.

Epstein lavish gifts on his former pilot, whose daughter rode horses with Maxwell.

Vesosky testified that Epstein gave him 40 acres of land from his 10,000 acre New Mexico Ranch property so he could build a house.

And he didn't charge you for that land ever, Delast, to which Vesosky replied, no, he did not.

Vesosky also said that he has two daughters whose private high school and college tuition were funded by Epstein.

It's all pay off money. Why do you think Vesosky didn't have anything to say?

He was bought this shit so he'd shut his app, and he's done his job well.

Now, once he gets through this, he'll never have to worry again.

He'll be able to just live his life with all of the ill-gotten gains he got from Jeffery Epstein.

Again, where is the Rico?

Well, fair to say, Epstein took an interest in seeing your young daughter succeed. Isn't that right? Ever Del continued?

Vesosky answered, that's correct. He believed in higher education.

And later confirmed he didn't believe Epstein or Maxwell had any ulterior motives with regard to his children.

Vesosky said his teen and preteen daughters spent time with Maxwell on Epstein's New Mexico property, and they went horseback riding together.

Well, no shit they did. You were in on it, buddy. You were part of the scam. You were part of the criminal operation, Larry Vesosky.

Another guy who should have been indicted.

Another reason why I've said from the beginning, the prosecution has been spinning their wheels.

People they're calling up as witnesses should have been indicted.

Vesosky claimed he would have quit his job, which he held from 91 to 2019, had he known Epstein preyed on underage girls.

Asked about Jane Vesosky testified that he never thought she was underage.

He said when he met her, she was just a mature woman with some piercing powder blue eyes.

And he would quit his job, is it really? So what happened when Epstein got busted the first time?

That wasn't enough to make you quit your job, huh?

You know, folks, one thing that you can be sure of is everybody who is in Epstein's web is an absolute liar.

So there you have it, folks. Some of the bombshells that we have taken away from this so far as this whole entire thing hasn't unfolded.

Now we are in a holding pattern as we await the verdict from the jury.

So what I'm going to do today is I'm going to add some more context episodes. Like I said, I have a series about the women who enabled Jeffrey Epstein.

I'm going to post that and I'm also going to post the cleafbrowder episode I was talking about because I feel like it's relevant considering all of the complaints with Maxwell and her accommodations in jail.

So I'll be around all day folks waiting here that verdict and the second we have something I'll hop back on and I'll get an episode ready to go.

So I hope that all of you have a great day up until then and then, uh, yeah, I'll be back later on with some more.

What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Well, after three days of juror deliberations, we still do not have a verdict, folks.

And we won't have a verdict before Christmas.

The jury and the court stated today that the jurors will begin their Christmas break starting today and they will not be utilizing Thursday tomorrow as another deliberation day.

Instead, they will go home for the Christmas break, the holidays and come back on December 27th to pick things back up and try and come to a verdict.

Now, I would think that the longer it goes on, the happier about things the defense would have to be, right?

It would mean that the jurors are trying to figure some things out in that jurors room, trying to maybe convince one juror or two jurors of her innocence or guilt, whatever it may be.

But the longer it goes, you would think that something like that is going on in the courtroom. I mean, in the jury room.

Now, again, that speculation on my part, maybe they're just being very, very deliberate. Maybe they are going through everything in a clinical fashion and they want to make sure that they missed nothing.

And that's quite possible too. I know that if I was a juror on any case, never mind something like this, I'd want to make sure that we were being very thorough, that we weren't missing anything.

Because not only are we talking about justice being served, we're talking about somebody going to prison for the rest of their lives pretty much.

So you have to be thorough if you're a juror and you're in charge of something like this. So I could see them being clinical about it, being surgical about it.

And that's why it's taking a little extra time. But you could also say that the longer it goes, the better it is for the defense, at least from the peanut gallery perspective over here.

So with no verdict again today, that's what we have to look forward to for the next few days. I guess it'll give you folks some time to catch up on some more context episodes. So that's a bonus, right?

But here we are waiting and waiting and waiting some more. It seems like everything that has to do with Jeffrey Epstein and Golan Maxwell takes decades to come to fruition.

And it's no different in this case. You know, you would think that the jurors would want to get this hammered out before the holiday. But again, there's a lot of information for them to process and who knows what's going on in that jurors room.

But that's where it stands as of now, no verdict folks. And well, I guess one good thing is Golan Maxwell won't be out of jail on Christmas. So that's a good thing.

All right, let's jump into an article from the Daily Mail and let's see what they have to say about the juror deliberations and the recess.

Headline, Golan Maxwell will spend Christmas day for 60th birthday locked behind bars and hellhole prison cell as Jerry breaks for the holiday without reaching a verdict in the sex trafficking case.

Now, honestly, I'm kind of torn by all of it really. Like, is this the time to really be taking a holiday?

And the whole scheduling of this trial has been absurd from the jump after the delay in July, July was the perfect time.

There's nothing to get in the way they could have hammered it all out. The weather would have been perfect. There would have been no COVID surges. None of that nonsense. But with the way it all breaks down. And the fact that there is going to be another pause in the case here after we've had a three day recess already.

Just seems a bit weird to me. You would think they'd want to get it all hammered out prior to the holiday.

But I don't know, maybe there should be some sort of like stipulation when there's a case like this, a trial like this that, you know, you have to use all of those days, you can't, you know, have the Thursday off. I mean, what is this?

Should probably probably be in there tomorrow, hammering things out, at least, you know, in my opinion anyway, plenty of time to go home and eat some holiday meal with the family.

But this is kind of an important deal, right? Again, I'm not too sure like what the processes are when it comes to courts and holidays and stuff like that.

I'm just speaking in general terms. Well, you know, the one extra day probably would have went a long way to getting to the verdict. And even before that, the three recess days we took previously, those, I didn't understand taking mows either.

Glenn Maxwell will spend Christmas and her 60th birthday in limbo and in prison after a Jerry failed to reach a verdict in her sex trafficking case.

The Jerry deliberated for their third day and sent one note requesting three transcripts, but did not come to a decision.

Maxwell appeared relaxed and was laughing with her lawyers and gave each a hug before being taken away to prison.

First of all, not the prison. She went back to lock up. So that's not prison. Second of all, man, it must be rough being treated like a Hannibal Lecter or Nelson Mandela the way she said she's being treated.

Considering she's here hugging up on her lawyers, having a grand old time. If she was really being treated that bad, she wouldn't have any contact with her lawyers even at the trial.

And again, that whole entire line that she was pitching for that whole entire time was such garbage and her newfound crusade to fix the justice system is just as much garbage.

She wouldn't have cared one bit about the conditions and lockups, jails, prisons, any of the rest if she didn't have to stay there for one second.

It was never anywhere near her mind. She had all the money, all the power, all the influence in the world. She could have talked to people and tried to get things fixed in these prisons and in these jails before she ended up in one.

But yeah, she's being treated so terribly.

The court will break for the rest of the week and we'll come back on Monday. Despite not being not being found guilty of any of the alleged crimes, Maxwell will spend Christmas day, which is also her 60th birthday behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Well, what she describes as a hellhole where she's been held since her arrest in July of 2020. Oh, well, how dare she be held in custody still. That's all part of it, right?

Her trial isn't over. She was being held without bail. What? She gets the day off for Christmas? Maybe every, you know what? What the hell? Open up the prisons. Everybody gets the day off for Christmas. Everybody goes home.

What does that even mean? Of course, she's going to spend the day in jail in limbo. She's not in limbo. She's waiting for the verdict. It's pretty, you know, a pretty simple process how this is how this works here.

If she's found innocent, then she'll be going home. If not, well, the hellhole that's going to get a whole lot worse.

Maxwell has maintained her innocence and her lawyers have bashed her accusers as having false memory and being motivated by money.

In legal filings earlier this year, Hannibal, Hannibal Maxwell claimed her treatment in prison is so bad, it would be fit for Hannibal Lecter.

I'm going to upload a context episode later on about that as well, just a ridiculous statement. I mean, to try and compare yourself to Hannibal Lecter,

is just so crazy and ridiculous that there's almost not enough words to explain it.

And you would think that her lawyers would be able to come up with a better real-life comparison, right? If she's being treated so badly, so poorly.

How about you give us a real-life comparison of somebody who she's being treated like so we can go and look that person up as well?

Instead, you give us some nonsense about Hannibal Lecter, huh?

Well, Bobby Sternham, love the suit.

At one point, Maxwell barricaded herself in the video conference room in prison with a card of legal documents, prosecutors claimed, and was deemed a security threat by blocking the door and preventing guards from accessing the room.

We talked about that previously as well. It was an issue where she had the card in front of the door and the guards couldn't get in to access her to watch her.

And when that happened, I said to myself, why wouldn't there be a guard on the inside of that room and on the outside of that room? Why do you only have the one guard there?

Once again, the Department of Justice is an absolute dumpster of fire.

And if any single organization or three-letter bureaucracy in this country needs to be fixed from the bottom up, it's the Department of Justice.

Judge Allison Nathan told the jury to be safe over their Christmas break due to the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.

She said she wanted them back healthy on Monday when everyone attending the court in New York will have to wear an N95 or K9, a KN95 mask to enter the building.

So they're going all in, huh? They're like, look, you're coming in, but you're going to have to look like Dustin Hoffman's character from the movie Outbreak when you show up.

Because we're not messing around with the Omicron virus in this piece. So they got, they got them all kidded out now with the K95s and the whole flip. I guess the bandana doesn't work no more, no more cloth masks, no surgical masks.

We're going all in on the N95s.

Near the end of the day, the jury asked for another copy of the transcript of the accuser Jane's testimony. They also asked for the testimony of Kate.

Another accuser and Epstein's former Palm Beach house manager, Wana Lessi. So they're asking for that so they can go over it again and try and corroborate some of the information that was given in the testimony of the survivors.

So they'll go through it and they'll make sure they didn't miss anything, you know, the whole line.

And that's what's going on with these transcripts. They're, they're needing a little bit more for reference purposes or to come to a decision. They feel like they need more material.

So they asked the judge to provide transcripts or whatever other evidence they think they might need.

Given the option to deliberate on Thursday, the jury said no because they had made plans. They said in a note.

I mean, I get it right again. I get it and I don't want to be too critical of the jury for being human and making plans.

But if you knew you were going to be on this, Jerry, you should have probably had all of your plans besides Christmas, even Christmas day locked out because you know that it's a possibility that you might get caught up and have to, you know,

go to court or whatever it may be. So I think that the court should have been more upfront about that and more,

more heavy handed with it by telling the jurors, hey, look, you can't, you know, if we have to go all the way up till the very end of the break here, right up until Thursday.

I mean, Friday, then that's what we have to do. But I guess that wasn't what the guidelines that were set forth.

That wasn't what they were. So they're going in this, this route.

The jury of six men and six women have now deliberated for 16 hours and 20 minutes. Maxwell 59, denies six counts of recruiting and transporting underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

On Tuesday, the second day of deliberation, the jurors appeared to be zeroing in on two accusers. They deliberated for the whole day Tuesday and sent four notes to the judge, including one which related to Annie Farmer.

They wanted to know if they could use her testimony for two counts of conspiracy to entice and transport an underage girl to engage in sex acts and the judge said that they could.

Now, remember, this is about the transportation facet of it, not so much the actual sexual assault part because New Mexico, age of consent, all of the reasons that we have stated earlier, right?

That is why they're focusing on the transportation aspect of this. But then I say to myself, why isn't the man act enacted? Why aren't they charged with the man act?

And again, I'm left with more questions than I am with answers. And that's just been the typical of this whole entire ordeal, unfortunately.

Judge Nathan said she would tell them that they could earlier the jury asked to see the notes of an FBI interview that Carolyn gave in 2007, the first time she spoke to law enforcement about being abused by Epstein.

Judge Nathan said that it had not been entered into evidence so they could not see it. However, the jury could refer to its mention in Carolyn's cross examination by the defense.

So it wasn't entered into evidence so they could not see it, meaning they couldn't have the physical document that they were looking for the 302's because you can't use 302's as actual evidence.

So all they could use was the referrals that made mention of it during the testimony.

At 1010 AM after just over an hour of deliberating on Tuesday, the jury sent their first note. Judge Allison Nathan said the jury were asking for the transcripts of testimony from Jane, Annie, and Carolyn, but did not mention Kate.

Kate is the only accuser whose claims should not be considered crimes is charged in the indictment. Prosecutor Maureen Komi said that both sides needed to agree to some redactions before giving the transcripts over.

Defense lawyer Bobby Sternum agreed. The jury were not brought out and Judge Nathan said she would give them the transcripts in the deliberation room.

So a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, right? They're trying to jockey still both sides to try and have, you know, the best chance to come out victorious here.

And when they're talking about these conversations about redactions and stuff, obviously not good for us when it comes to transparency, but what they're trying to do is figure out what should be in there and what shouldn't be in there according to their own narrative, meaning both sides.

And then it'll be up to the judge to figure it all out when all said and done.

Maxwell walked into court wearing a black turtleneck sweatshirt and black pants while holding a green folder. She hugged her lawyers and waved at a young woman in the public gallery.

Maxwell's defense delivered closing arguments Monday afternoon, telling the jury that she is an innocent woman, wrongfully accused of crime she did not commit.

Yeah, you know, everybody says the same thing, right? Maxwell's such a great person. She didn't commit any crimes. Maxwell would never do anything like this. This is so out of character for her said nobody ever.

In her closing remarks, Maxwell's lawyer Laura Meninger said the government has failed to prove any charge beyond a reasonable doubt and the only correct verdict in this case is not guilty on each count.

The defense again attempted to discredit the accounts of the four accusers, as Meninger stated, the evidence has established what we told you it would, that the stories relied on by the government are erinous memories manipulation and money.

But in this case, the order is reversed. The money brought the accusers to the FBI where their personal injury lawyer is sat right there.

That is such a ridiculous and false statement that I don't even know how she can make that in court to call Bradley Edwards a personal injury lawyer is beyond the pale.

But I don't expect anything more from Meninger. She has shown herself to be straight up vile in this whole entire ordeal.

And definitely somebody who is just shake your head disgusting in my opinion.

As for how Maxwell was betrayed, Meninger said that she had been made to look like Cruella de Ville and the devil wears Prada all wrapped up into one.

Such a portrait was as old as Hollywood Meninger said. Yeah, you mean like your whole entire defense of going after the credibility of the accusers?

You want to talk about being old? That's as old as it gets.

They've been using that strategy forever since the biblical days and she wants to talk about using an old strategy.

Boy, oh boy. Meninger said the lawyers manipulated their stories and the government accepted their stories without ever corroborating them.

Meninger said that suddenly the accusers were covered memories years later and that's just so ridiculous.

How many of those memories were repressed? How many of those girls didn't want to come forward because they fear Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Maxwell and the rest of these scumbags.

When you walk into a room and there's a picture with Jeffrey Epstein and all these world leaders littering the walls and you're some poor girl from Palm Beach.

Of course, it's going to be a bit intimidating.

She said the recovered memories that Galen was involved, that Galen was there, that Galen was the culprit.

Meninger said that the prosecution spent a lot of time talking about Epstein's lifestyle, about his wealth and his property and his private planes, just like a sensationalist tabloid would.

Meninger said that Epstein was a master manipulator who abused his money and his power.

She said, we're not here to defend Jeffrey Epstein, he is not my client, but she added, Galen Maxwell is not Jeffrey Epstein.

No, she's not, that's pretty defactual statement, but she's just as bad, my opinion anyway.

Anyone who could sit at his right hand while he's doing all of this while these girls are being brought in and then not only that but to take part in it all, to manage it all, to facilitate it all.

There is a special place in hell, if hell exists, for somebody like Maxwell in my opinion.

Meninger claimed that when Epstein died, the prosecution pivoted to going after Maxwell.

The idea was that Galen was there, she must have known.

Meninger criticized prosecutors for showing the Jerry dozens of photos out of 38,000 seized from Epstein's New York home in 2019.

She said, where are the other 31,960 photos?

Who was in those photos? Was it other girlfriends, other women?

Nor should the Jerry draw on inference from Epstein keeping photos of Maxwell.

Meninger asked the Jerry that if an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend had photos of them, would that make them a sex offender?

And that's just ridiculous.

All right, so the 31,960 photos, I agree, let's see them.

How many of them had Maxwell involved, bringing the girls there, or whatever other six scenario you might want to come up with?

How about we go back a step further? How about we see the stuff from Palm Beach, Galen Maxwell, you know, the stuff that Indyke took out on the hard drives, the stuff that's protected under the non-prosecution agreement?

How about we see all of that stuff?

And because you have pictures that makes you a sex offender, what kind of statement is that even?

Doesn't even make any sense.

No, it's just absolute ridiculousness.

Nor should the Jerry draw any, excuse me, past there.

Meninger condemned the use of such images as straight-up sensationalism.

Well, if they tell a story and they piece things together, how is it sensationalism?

Also, if those other photos don't have anything to do with the current situation, why would they show them anyway?

I mean, if you're talking about complete transparency, Meninger, then I think we're all for it.

We want everything, so everything you wanted redacted, let's get that unredacted.

Let's get a full viewing for everybody to see, since you're so worried about transparency all of a sudden.

Turning to the accuser's memories, Meninger said that they inserted Galen Maxwell into their narrative after they loyered up.

Meninger said, you don't need a lawyer to talk to the FBI.

You don't. Spoken like somebody who is from a affluent life.

Somebody who is from a background where they've never had to deal with law enforcement.

Here's a little bit of unsolicited advice for all of you out there.

Never speak to law enforcement without a lawyer, the FBI, anybody.

I don't care if you're a witness or anything else.

Meninger said that it fell to the defense to ask the tough questions of the accusers and cross-examination had shown the truth was manipulated and changed over time for the purpose of the victims getting a payday.

But that doesn't make sense because the payday was already gotten. They already had their payday through the compensation fund.

Nobody can sue Maxwell if they got money from the compensation fund, so what does she even mean by any of this?

Wouldn't have there been more lucrative routes to take, like maybe making a movie, selling your rights to a book, something like that.

Instead, you bring your whole life in public view so you can get dragged by scumbags and people who have nothing better to do at their time.

I think that there would have been a better way to a payday for these girls.

Meninger went through inconsistencies in the statements by Jane and Carolyn and said that they had suffered from post-event suggestion.

As their false memory expert Elizabeth Loftis had described it, adding new and false information after the event.

According to Meninger, the prosecution had broken promises to produce numerous house staff, family members, and other witnesses to back up the claims.

The idea put forward by prosecutors Maxwell became a facilitator of sexual abuse for Epstein to maintain her wealthy lifestyle was wrong.

Well, I agree with that. That was never the motivation in my opinion.

This was a tandem working hand in hand to compile information on rich and wealthy people so they can manipulate them so that they can increase their power.

Whatever it may be, wealth, information, their foothold within the upper crust.

See the way you and I look at our bank accounts and we look at money and we're like, all right, this is our judgment on what we can do.

We can go here, we can go there, we have money to buy food. For them, it's not money. It's about information. They have information the way we have money.

And that's more powerful, right? If you have Compromot on one of these people, then they'll do whatever you want them to do.

And that's what Jeffrey Epstein and Glaine Maxwell were masters of compiling Compromot.

Meninger said that Maxwell at the time was a beautiful woman in her 30s who was just starting out on her career.

Epstein was manipulating everyone around him and dating women behind her back.

Meninger said that maybe it was Jeffrey who needed Glaine and her connections rather than her needing him for his money.

Turning to each accuser, Meninger said that Jane was like an actress who forgot her lines. Jane is an actress on a soap opera.

That real nice, real pleasant thing to say, very pleasant thing to say.

And to tell you the truth, you can make that assertion, just like I'll make the assertion that your client, Glaine Maxwell, is an absolutely reprehensible piece of human excrement.

And all the money in the world, all the power in the world, all the influence in the world should never get somebody off the hook for doing what she is being accused of doing.

And hopefully when these jurors get back from their Christmas holiday, they get back from opening their presents and, you know, eating some food, hanging with their families, whatever it's going to be.

Well, maybe they'll give Glaine Maxwell a nice late Christmas present.

And that Christmas present will be coal in her stocking.

Alright folks, well there you have it, as the third day wraps up, no verdict yet.

And we slide off into another recess as we await the fate of Maxwell.

As for me, well nothing's going to change. I'll be here morning, be here night, and we'll continue to pump out the context episodes as they come along.

Alright everybody, I hope you all had a great day, and I will be back later on.
