OK - US v. #GhislaineMaxwell Day 5, PM edition, with officer on search of Epstein's residence (found photos of young girls, school girl uniforms, etc). Screens will exclude public & press. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below patreon.com/posts/59466473

They are showing the jurors a video of the search warrant reading (and execution?) at Epstein's house. But we the Press and public can't see it.
AUSA Maurene Comey: at 1 minute, were are we?
Parkinson: In the 3 car garage

Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey: What do we see here, during the search?
Officer Parkinson: A picture of Pope John Paul with Jeffrey Epstein.
[Note: while these exhibits are sealed, for some reason, could it be this one, with #GhislaineMaxwell? #MaximumMaxwell

AUSA Maurene Comey is still telling the jurors to look at one seal exhibit after another, now Government Exhibit 225.
One might say, This is a semi-public trial.
#MaximumMaxwell patreon.com/posts/59466473

AUSA Maurene Comey: I ask that Government Exhibit 234 be admitted, under seal. Also 241, under seal.
Judge Nathan: Granted. Under seal.

Finally, some exhibits not under seal.
AUSA Comey: What is this, in Exhibit 228?
Parkinson: It's the Garden Room.
[There are photos spread out all over the floor, but no details can be made out.]

AUSA Comey: I'd like the jurors to look in their binders at Exhibit 255... Oh witness only. I ask that Government Exhibit 278, the master bathroom, be under seal to protect privacy
[???]
Judge Nathan: We'll take our break, snacks are here.
[Yes, snacks were cited]

Now even Judge Nathan says US has gone too far in sealing entire 39 minute video, says some portion should be made public.
AUSA Maurene Comey: We'll work on that.
[When?]

[In fairness to Judge Nathan, it was the jurors who took a snacks break. The judge and lawyers stayed to argue, and now take a "comfort break."
Inner City Press? When will these wrongly sealed exhibits be released? #MaximumMaxwell amazon.com/dp/B09LQBJ5N3

Wrong photo / attachments, but #MaximumMaxwell, below, is not UNrelated to "Belt and Roadkill" patreon.com/posts/59466473

OK, the jurors are back from snacks break.
AUSA Maurene Comey: Let's turn to Government Exhibit 278.
Parkinson: It's a bathroom with a phone and a pink, three cushion couch. And that's a portable inflatable massage table.

We're back to mass-sealing:
AUSA Maurene Comey: I ask to admit Government Exhibit 285, under seal, and "direct the jurors' attention to that writing."

Finally: Parkinson comes out of the witness box and touches Government Exhibit 51..."the green massage table."
AUSA Maurene Comey: We offer this [massage table] into evidence. I asked that the exhibit be published for the jury by setting the table up

Parkinson: Now the table is in an open position.
Exhibit 51a: Photo of massage table on its side.
AUSA Comey: Where was it manufactured?
Parkinson: Vista, California.
AUSA Comey: No further questions.
Judge Nathan: Mr. Everdell, you may cross.

Maxwell's lawyer Everdell: You previously investigated a burglary there, correct?
Parkinson: True.
Everdell: And Mr. Epstein said that several thousand dollars had been stolen, right?
Parkinson: True.

Everdell is jumping around with his questions, laughing uncomfortably now. He asked Parkinson about an exhibit - sealed - that is Epstein's desk and the photos on it.

And with that, without apparently landing a punch, Everdell's cross examination of Parkinson is over.
Judge Nathan: You may step down, Mr. Parkinson. You are free to take your flight.
New US witness, starting at 4:38 pm on Friday: Michael Dawson, Palm Beach PD

AUSA: What were you looking for, during the search?
Dawson: Massage tables and oil. Sex toys. There were a lot of photos of nude females. We seized a phone book, a massage table, photo of a nude female, a sex toy called the torpedo
[Flashes on screen & is gone]

Now cross examination, starting at 4:49 pm
Maxwell's lawyer: I'm going to prove up an inconsistent statement.
Judge Nathan: Confer first.
After a time, Maxwell's lawyer: We need a sidebar.
[Non-public]

Now the questioning turns to Juan Alessi's admission of stealing from Epstein. But it's 4:59 pm.
Cross examination interruptus?

Judge Nathan: We're done for the week. Obey my instructions. Oh and by the way, we will not sit Dec 13, 14 or 15... Why, is not explained. Some letters due Sat & Sunday, both at 8 pm.
All rise!
It's done. #MaximumMaxwell to be updated patreon.com/posts/59466473
