Will the defence be able to call Glassman to try and somehow link compensation for assaults by #epstein into proving that GM didn't abuse or traffic anyone?
Of course we know they just want to show survivors as money hungry
In other cases - #AlanDershowitz has been accused of allegedly withholding THOUSANDS of emails regarding #Epstein and others in discovery in the civil defamation case #VirginiaGiuffre brought against him. #Dershowitz
And in case you missed it, #Dersh has said he is really ill.
Assistant US Attorney: Jane told him, The defense lawyer is an expletive.
Menninger: But what else did she tell him?
Judge Nathan: He shouldn't testify until after lunch.
Jane speaks her truth.
Sidebar with lawyers going on now. Jury not in the court. So go watch Matthew's morning intro.
Jury is in.
AUSA Maurene Comey continues direct examination of FBI witness about search of Epstein's Manhattan mansion referring to a photograph seized in the 2019 search.
AUSA Comey: Who do we see in this photograph?
FBI witness: Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
New witness.
Stephen Flatley, FBI CART coordinator, digital forensic examiner and Quantico instructor.
AUSA: What is this?
Flatley: A hard drive I examined in this case.
So the hard drive is linked to a computer called GMax.
Aha, the previous email "what list is John using".
Remember the lists in the household manual..... and the former house manager at Palm Beach Juan Alessi who both #ghislaineMaxwell and #epstein called John.
Defence said that GM hired a 'Countess' to write the manual.
@innercitypress That was written Oct 14, 2002, on the computer Gmax.
"Jeffrey and Ghislaine have been together, a couple, for the last 11 years. They are, contrary to what many people think, rarely apart — I almost always see them together."
@innercitypress WOAH!
one could say that the person who sat at the Gmax computer and typed away really loved #GhislaineMaxwell and wanted to stoke her ego. Whoever Gmax typer may be.
@innercitypress Now Menninger starts her questioning for the defence. Seems like her stance will be could these files have been changed in any way. How they can prove Ghislaine Maxwell had anything to do with this particular hard drive
@innercitypress Break time.
In my view that was an incredibly gripping. The evidence of the files found in the mansion!
@innercitypress And back.
'Carolyn' is a witness and yes that's a pseudonym.
Carolyn had a partner called Shawn (Sean Shaun?) when she was a teenager. He found out that she was 14 at her birthday party. She had told him she was 17.
It was through this boyfriend she met Virginia (assuming Giuffre).
She was introduced to Maxwell and Epstein. Again another survivor from a disadvantaged background
She couldn't pronounce Ghislaine so called her Maxwell
She was 14
This must be MV5 that defence outed as appearing in a document before the trial started.
Carolyn alleges that it was #GhislaineMaxwell who handed her the money.
AUSA: Would Ms. Maxwell ever pay you?
Carolyn: Yes. She handed me three $100 bills.
Remember that in the household manual the house manager was required to make sure that each car had $100 notes each day. And that Juan Alessi stole $6300 in CASH from the house.
There was always $$ in the Palm Beach House.
And here we have the Fed Ex package sent from New York to Florida. The package containing lingerie. Was it Victoria Secret?
Carolyn says she brought three other girls after she was asked to bring younger girls to the house to massage #epstein.
"When I bought them I got paid $600 and she got paid $300."
Carolyn admits to buying drugs. She obviously craved an escape from life
AUSA: What did they do?
Carolyn: Sex and oral sex.
AUSA: What did you do with the money they paid you?
Carolyn: I was buying drugs.
[Now, witness is sobbing.]
AUSA: You need to say it into the microphone.
Carolyn spent time in jail for pawning stolen property. She then did rehab and therapy for her drug dependency and trauma.
I wonder if she spent more time in jail than Epstein?
"I take methadone and Xanax. And two others."
In a way she is still in jail created by abuse.
Is this a reference to the State (Florida) ordered compensation that the victims in Palm Beach were involved in during 2009? I could be considering the defence objection.
Now defence lawyer Jeffrey Pagliuca starts his cross examination of Carolyn.
No doubt it will be brutal.
Pag: Sean was a friend of Virginia Roberts' boyfriend Tony, right? And you all smoked marijuana together and drank alcohol?
Carolyn: We didn't drink any alcohol.
First witness is 'Kate'. Which means no sketch artist as Kate is one of the witnesses testifying without being identified.
Kate works with victims of trauma but before that met #GhislaineMaxwell in Paris through an ex-boyfriend. She was at the time a singer and musicianl.
The next time she saw her was in #GhislaineMaxwell's London townhouse. Where #epstein asked for a massage as the masseuse had cancelled. He was naked.
Asked if JE initiated sex, Kate said: Yes. Then Maxwell said, How did it go? Did you have fun?
Day 5, US v #GhislaineMaxwell.
Follow along as we hear what is going on in the court thanks to Matthew form @innercitypress and Adam from @KlasfeldReports.
I'll add extra information and links as we 'listen' in.
Day 3 US v #GhislaineMaxwell
Yesterday #Epstein pilot #LarryVisoski offered up information about those who joined JE on the plane - including #BillClinton and #Trump.
He referred to children as being a 'shorter woman' and agreed with GM defence Everdell that MV1 had LARGE BREASTS
That's right #GhislaineMaxwell's legal team referred to a 14yo as having large breasts!
Everdell also said the name of MV1 Jane's sister!
And there has been back and forth on the docket about identifying.
From a letter from #Pagliuca, one of GM's defence team.
These are from the Gov complaining about the 'slip ups'.
#LarryViskowski entres the building. Refuses to answer if he regretted working for #Epstein.
Journalists heard talking about if Larry Big Dawg the pilot was offered immunity. #GhislaineMaxwell
