Inmate planned to strangle Ghislaine Maxwell in her sleep at Brooklyn jail, lawyer says

NEW YORK — One of Ghislaine Maxwell’s fellow detainees at the Brooklyn federal lockup plotted to murder her, a defense lawyer said in a court filing Wednesday aimed at lightening Maxwell’s sentence on sex trafficking charges for procuring young women for Jeffrey Epstein.

“(One) of the female inmates in Ms. Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms. Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep,” wrote lawyer Bobbi Sternheim.

Maxwell’s lawyer included the claim in papers filed ahead of her sentencing on June 28.

“The inmate who made the threat has been moved to the SHU (special housing unit), presumably to protect Ms. Maxwell,” Sternheim wrote. In federal prisons like Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, special housing units are solitary confinement.

“This incident reflects the brutal reality that there are numerous prison inmates who would not hesitate to kill Ms. Maxwell — whether for money, fame, or simple ‘street cred,’ ” Sternheim wrote.

Federal Bureau of Prisons officials did not immediately respond to a query about Maxwell’s claim.

The filing also revealed graphic allegations of abuse Maxwell allegedly suffered at the hands of her father, disgraced British publishing baron Robert Maxwell. It describes her upbringing as “a difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic, and demanding father,” who died in 1991, right before she met Epstein.

“Ghislaine vividly recalls a time when, at age 13, she tacked a poster of a pony on the newly painted wall of her bedroom. Rather than mar the paint with tape, she carefully hammered a thin tack to mount the poster,” wrote Sternheim.

“This outraged her father, who took the hammer and banged on Ghislaine’s dominant hand, leaving it severely bruised and painful for weeks to come.”

The detained inmate was ‘Haley Klinton’. Ms Maxwell was going to kill herself by shooting herself in the back of the head, while the staff is at a party hosted by Haley Klinton. 🤓

I’m going to ask some question?. Why would inmates do this to her? Did someone put them up to it?
