Like many people, I foolishly thought that we had heard the last of disgraced sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell for at least the next twenty years. (Barring some sort of early release deal.) Maxwell was convicted of trafficking women and even underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein after his “tragic suicide” in a prison cell in August of 2019. In June of last year, she was sentenced to two decades behind bars. But now her attorneys have filed a lengthy appeal, asking for that conviction to be thrown out and their client to be released. They are claiming that the judge in the case committed a series of “fatal errors” that prevented Maxwell from receiving a fair trial, as well as claiming that the original trial never should have been held. And while it pains me to admit it, they might actually have a shot at prevailing. (NY Post)Read More
