OK - it's US v. #GhislaineMaxwell Day 9, after receiving a letter from a former police official investigating Epstein & Maxwell who got no witness subpoena or contact from @SDNYLIVE. More soon- Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below patreon.com/posts/59710515
New US witness is Tracy Chapell of FedEx.
AUSA: What is this?
Chapell: It's from Jeffrey Epstein's FedEx account.
AUSA: We want it sealed.
Judge Nathan: Granted.
Chapell: It's an invoice.
AUSA: Under seal.
Judge Nathan: Yes.
The sealed invoices are from 2002; the redacted version, on the screens, are illegible. Now cross examination.
Maxwell's lawyer: Look at [sealed] Exhibit 806.
Maxwell's lawyer: So this package was to Carolyn. But it was not from Ghislaine Maxwell, correct?
Chapell: It is not.
Maxwell's lawyer: There is no other transaction on this invoice where Ghislaine Maxwell is sending a package to someone named Carolyn, correct?
Now Maxwell's lawyer is putting forward an exhibit under "temporary seal." Temporary until when? Inner City Press is putting together a letter - watch this feed.
Maxwell's lawyer: I have no further questions for this witness.
Assistant US Attorney: We need an session with your Honor in the robing room.
Judge Nathan: An extended sidebar?
AUSA: It would need to be in the robing room.
[Inner City Press finalizing letter]
Judge Nathan re-takes the bench. No summary given of what the robing room discussion was about.
Judge Nathan: Please bring in the jury.
[Letter fast-finished and filed - watch this feed]
Judge Nathan: There is an attorney in the case who is ill and needs treatment. It is not COVID related but we are going to break for the day.

Spacey's lawyer: He's only alleging that Mr Fowler [that is, Kevin Spacey] picked him up and dropped him. It's essentially child abuse, not sexual assault.
Rapp's lawyer: From coast to coast, from country to country, Kevin Spacey leaves a trail of young boys and men who say he touched them without their consent. He just lost an arbitration to Netflix about House of Cards.

Pagliuca: You knew what a British accent was, but you said "an unknown accent," right?

OK - it's US v. #GhislaineMaxwell trial Day 6, beginning with Judge Nathan ruling on the admissibility of exhibits and, Inner City Press hopes and has requested, the unsealing of court filings storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Now before the jury comes in, Judge Nathan is reading rulings on exhibits.
Judge Nathan: The pictures on the wall [of Epstein's massage room] risk prejudice and distracting the jury. They should be redacted. The other photos, of vibrators, the court will exclude.
Judge Nathan: I will also exclude the photos of the "creepy animals" Jane testified to. The tigers, for example, are high idiosyncratic. The school girl uniforms may be admissible, depending on the testimony.
