ALERT: Ghislaine Maxwell finally goes on trial after 15 months on remand
The Observer ^ | Nov 14 | Vanessa Thorpe

Posted on 11/14/2021 2:34:38 PM PST by RandFan

Ghislaine Maxwell is to emerge from her New York prison cell on Monday after a 15-month wait for the start of a trial for sex trafficking children, perjury and the enticement of minors while she was a close associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The 59-year-old, the youngest child of the British newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell, has been held on remand in a Brooklyn detention centre since shortly after her arrest in July 2020.

During lengthy jury selection procedures, international interest will focus on two key issues: first, the likelihood that Maxwell and her lawyers will offer up details of prominent names implicated in the case, including Prince Andrew’s, and second, the alleged poor state of the defendant’s health.

Maxwell’s elder brother, Ian, a British businessman and thinktank founder, alleges his sister’s incarceration, under 24-hour surveillance in a cell measuring just 9ft by 6ft, amounts to excessive cruelty. She has slept on a concrete bed beside a toilet and has had no access to natural light.

Maxwell also claims her eyesight is failing and her hair falling out, while her guards repeatedly wake her by shining a torch in her face. Prison officials say the scrutiny is designed to prevent Maxwell harming herself in the light of Epstein’s cell suicide two and a half years ago, but her lawyers argue this is merely the cover story for a persecution campaign.

What are the odds of her dying in the next month by suicide? or by heart attack?

I’m surprised she hasn’t committed Arkancide.

finally?

FINALLY?

This is normal for such delays, and her lawyers contributed to the delays.

She’s being treated equally as anyone else, as far as I can see.

Unbelivable keeping her in solitary all this time. So much for innocent until proven guilty.

Probably in the same ultra-secure jail cell where Epstein 'committed suicide'...

Still treated better than the children kidnapped and sold into slavery.

"What are the odds of her dying in the next month by suicide? or by heart attack?"

Ms. Maxwell isn't all that bright complaining about being abused and feeling poorly because they could use that as a basis for her "suicide note."

She needs to be saying how she loves life and has hope for the future so that Baghdad Bob Barr does not get all twitchy and have her strangled like he did Epstein.

I don’t know . . . but they are sure missing some ratings if they don’t!

And my popcorn stocks will probably go down.
