heinous crimes imaginable. I will explain, in general what is going to occur but I will ask that we remember how long it took to bring her and Epstein to justice. Way too long & seemingly involved a degree of corruption imo. Her attorneys will make a motion to set aside /2

the jury verdict. It’s standard procedure and it will be denied. The judge will then set a briefing schedule for sentencing memos from both the prosecution and defendant. These documents will attempt to justify why type of sentence the judge should issue and whether she’ll 3/

deviate from the sentencing guidelines based upon a number of factors. I believe the judge will potentially give an upward modification (increase) given the horrendous nature of the crimes. I don’t believe she will be sentenced to the full 65 years but her sentence will be 4/

substantial.Maxwell will also likely appeal her conviction & sentence.I highly doubt the Circuit will reduce, alter, or vacate either. She is metaphorically done.Again, justice in this matter was long overdue & primarily the result of big names being involved w her and Epstein. X
