Good morning from New York.

Some exhibits were entered into evidence yesterday during Day 1 in the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Epstein's pilot, who took the stand yesterday, continues testifying this morning.

ICYMI: lawandcrime.com/live-trials/gh…
During part of pilot Larry Visoski's testimony, he led jurors through detailed description of Epstein's properties.

Like the pool of his Palm Beach property.
So far during direct examination, there has been no mention of some of the more famous passengers on that plane.

We'll see if that continues to be true over the course of his testimony.
Service advisory: I will not be live-tweeting the morning session.

However, I will continue to do so regularly, including in the afternoon, and I'll loop back to what happened in the morning later in the day.
And to answer an FAQ asked frequently about this trial:

Federal court proceedings are not televised. That's why you're not seeing an audio or visual record of it inside the courtroom.

Good morning from New York.

The third day of Ghislaine Maxwell's trial begins this morning with continuing testimony by "Jane," the first woman prosecutors described at the very start of openings.

ICYMI: Her grueling testimony yesterday, @lawcrimenews lawandcrime.com/live-trials/gh…
Pre-trial proceedings have been underway.

"Jane" testified yesterday that she was living in a "pool house" after meeting Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein at camp.

Maxwell's defense counsel are questioning that testimony about her family's financial difficulties.
As "Jane" has denied the defense attorney's suggestion, the parties are arguing whether the line of questioning is permissible.

Good afternoon from New York.

The government just called the witness known by the pseudonym "Jane." Her story loomed large during the prosecution's opening statement.

Epstein's pilot remembered her as the girl with the "piercing powder blue eyes."

Judge Nathan just instructed the courtroom sketch artists not to depict her.
Reminder:

The U.S. Attorney's office has requested that reporters observe journalism ethics norms not to ID people who say they're survivors of sexual assault.

"Jane" just said that she was sexually assaulted by Epstein "more than once" when she was 14 years old.

Good morning from New York.

The Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking case is a trial a quarter of a century in the making. Here's a place for getting caught up on all of that, quickly.

Follow this feed, as it unfolds, @lawcrimenews lawandcrime.com/live-trials/gh…
We begin.

U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan: Is the government ready to proceed to trial today?
A: Yes, your honor.

Q: Ms. Sternheim? [Maxwell's lawyer]
She replies in the affirmative.
Proceedings start today with the remainder of jury selection.

Of the 600 original candidates, 58 remain, and we're heading to a panel of 12 jurors and some alternates.

Jacob Chansley—the Viking-hat, coyote-fur-headdress, and face paint sporting "shaman" who invaded the Capitol and left an ominous note for Pence—is about to be sentenced for obstructing the congressional proceeding on Jan. 6.

I'll cover the hearing for @LawCrimeNews.
We're about to begin. The parties introduce themselves:

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly L. Paschall for the government.

Al Watkins for the defense.
AUSA Paschall slams Chansley's supporters for characterizing his actions that day as "peaceful" and protected by the right to "peaceably assemble."

"If the defendant had been peaceful on that day, we would not be here."

Good morning from New York.

A hearing is about to begin to determine what experts will be allowed to testify in Ghislaine Maxwell's upcoming trial.

ICYMI: A story on one of her proposed experts, who also testified for Harvey Weinstein. lawandcrime.com/high-profile/g… @lawcrimenews
Judge Nathan proposes a final pre-trial conference on Nov. 23.

The first proposed witness up today is Dr. Lisa Rocchio, who plans to testify on the "grooming" process. Maxwell's defense wants to call another expert, Park Dietz, to refute her opinions.
