Maxwell, sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking, says 2007 plea deal negotiated by Epstein should have protected her
Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has requested that the US supreme court overturn her conviction, saying she was unjustly prosecuted.
In 2022, Maxwell was sentenced in Manhattan to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and other related crimes. Her legal team, however, submitted a request to the supreme court on Monday, seeking to overturn the lower court’s decision, arguing that a prior plea deal that Epstein took protected Maxwell from prosecution.
Maxwell’s submission to the supreme court comes days after she met justice department officials, as discussions began to see whether she would turn into a US government cooperator. Observers have suggested Maxwell may be able to expose new information about Epstein’s sex trafficking and the wealthy individuals who may have also been involved. It is not clear if Maxwell will become a US government cooperator and what she may receive in return.
Because you can just do that now, apparently
In Trump’s administration, of course you can.
Gee whiz, I wonder what will happen here…
then she can go back to her essential work for the pleasure of the GOP & other predators
It’s not even “I didn’t do it”, it’s literally “I think I should have gotten away with it”.
I’ve seen this guy lie his dick off for ten years, but not as childishly as he has for the past two weeks, as if his mother caught him stealing cookies. He’s in complete panic mode. He can barely hit a golf ball properly, let alone rape a child, anymore.
Correct but the legal argument is literally legal since that “plea deal” is a “legal” document and the executive is…
So the white box had the script in it for all this? Makes sense now. Evidently, Trump wants to move the limelight over to some of his buddies on the list and has literally given Maxwell a get out of jail free card so as to not to mention his name on that list. And getting the Supreme Court to do the dirty work in a ‘constructive’ (or constructed) way means Trump can distance himself from a Presidential pardon.
“…Oh, and by the way, Israel, you better let all that aid in to Gaza and stop being so mean”
How would releasing her do anything but blow up In trumps face?
Quid pro quo where she agrees to incriminate Trump’s opposition
Lots more windows to ‘fall out of’ outside of prison
Because he won’t be the one releasing her. The supreme court will be overturning her conviction entirely.
Sounds like she has no remorse at all.
I think if you do what she did for as long as she did, there’s no real coming back from it.
Except at the Supreme Court, of course.
Trump and Epstein raped those kids and she ran the business for them

this is the truth, right here. it’s time for citizens justice
Apparently Epstein entered into a plea deal that may or may not have extended to co conspirators, named or otherwise. Very odd situation. Maxwell was not part of the plea deal but is arguing that she was a coconspirator and therefore the deal applies to her.
Supreme Court needs to rule that plea deals can only affect people that physically entered into them.
Pretty sure the plea deal wouldn’t have covered future crimes, either. Not like of you plea out of a speeding ticket you just get to speed for the rest of your life without legal consequences.
The basis of the argument is because she is covered under the plea deal her arrest was unconstitutional. Pretty batshit crazy if you ask me.
Right, but that can only apply to crimes comitted before the 2007 plea deal. If she was charged for literally anything comitted in the following decade, then that is still valid.
The Supreme Court will now do it, because Trump would have told them too.
What a P.O.S.
