NXIVM Trial News.
Thanks, Cletus, pinging the list.
Allison Mack is #3 out of 6 on the plea bargain bus. Articles are all over the net now, but I’ll post the one from Frank Report since it has some courtroom observations.
Previous pleas included Nancy Salzman and her daughter, Lauren.
Jury selection began today and three defendants are still in the dock: Keith Raniere, Clare Bronfman, and Kathy Russell.
Mack pleaded to one count each of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy, deftly avoiding all of the sex charges against her.
She’ll be sentenced Sept 11, 2019, and faces up to 20 years on each count. Legal beagles are guessing that she’ll probably only get 3-5 years as a first-time offender.
If I had to guess, I’d say Clare will probably be the next to plea, but she could get beat out by Kathy. Ms. Russell, inexplicably, does not appear to have been dealing. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t though. The lawyers for Nancy, Lauren, Allison, and Kathy are all being paid for by Clare. Of course, Clare and Keith have their own separate lawyers that Clare is also paying for.
Keith evidently tried to bargain with the prosecution but, given his narcissism and ego, was SO far apart from prosecutors that I think they basically wrote it off as a joke.
