Following a crowded day of defense witness testimonies including the questioning of Ms. Espinoza (a former Epstein and Maxwell assistant) and Dr. Loftus, (a false memory expert) Friday’s session would commence rather differently. A lengthy clarification from Judge Nathan pertaining to prior deposition documents (which are related to a defense witness) would open proceedings. Nathan would also inform the defense that they would be required to produce specific documents if another witness is to testify. Maxwell’s lawyer suggested they may call a witness from the UK and a law enforcement witness at a later time.
Morning proceedings would continue with numerous attempts from defense representatives to revisit issues that had already been ruled upon by the court (a point made by the prosecution; expanding that the defense will have an opportunity to revisit these issues during closing arguments). Defense would call their first witness to the stand, First Special Agent Jason Richards. Defense attorney Everdell would also explain the defense’s intention to call witnesses Agent Young and Eva Dubin (wife of disgraced hedge-funder Glenn Dubin) afterwards. Questioning would begin at roughly 10:32am as the jury poured into SDNY Courthouse chambers.
Defense attorney Pagliuca asked First Special Agent Richards “Did you interview Carolyn?” Richards replied, “I did.” Pagliuca expanded “did you recall Carolyn saying she obtained Epstein’s number from a phone book and that Epstein returned her call?” Richards responded, “If that’s what’s in the 302 reports.” Prosecution would proceed to cross examine “Do you show your 302’s to those you speak to?” Richards responded “No.” Richards was dismissed.
The day’s second witness would be Amanda Young. The defense’s first question would be “was your partner Detective Burns?” Young would respond “Yes, we both check the 302.”
Maxwell’s lawyer proceeded “You just heard Ms. Comey’s questions to Agent Richards, 302’s are not transcripts, right?” Young would respond “they are not.” Maxwell’s lawyer inquired further, “You interviewed Annie Farmer, about the boots, right?” Young responded, “Yes, the boots were obtained by law enforcement this year. I don’t remember the month”.

She’s goin’ down (legally, I mean).
With Ms. Maxwell, you have to specify.
She works on a sliding scale.
I have to hand it to the Deep State. They’ve managed to try Maxwell and also avoid exposing any of the army of perverts and sadists that she accommodated. Well done. Prince Andrew must be breathing a big sigh of relief. The child trafficking marches on unimpeded. Well done.
Three things about this whole mess amaze me.
1. I am amazed that Maxwell chose to hide in the United States, the one country that really wanted to prosecute her.
2. I am amazed that Maxwell didn’t cut a deal before the trial started.
3. I am amazed that Maxwell is still alive.

Kinda suggests how deep the problem is.
IF this just goes away, we have an armed revolt to look forward to.
