Prosecutors in Ghislaine Maxwell's case have disclosed 2.7 million pages of evidence to her lawyers in her Jeffrey Epstein trafficking case.
Maxwell's trial date is set to start in July, and her lawyers have complained about her not having enough time to work on her case while in jail at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn. A letter from her lawyer reads, "However, given the voluminous discovery in this case, the most recent production alone being 1.2 million documents, the time accorded Ms. Maxwell remains inadequate for her to review and prepare the defense of her life."
This comes as U.S. attorney Audrey Strauss has criticized Maxwell's lawyers' requesting personal evidence from Boies Schiller Flexner (BSF), the law firm that represents Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre and a number of other Epstein victims. Maxwell's lawyers requested "the 'original, complete copy' of a victim's diary," which Strauss argues "should be treated as 'confidential' under the protective order much like other such information in this case."
An indictment last month claims that Maxwell "was "discussing sexual topics, undressing in front of the victim, being present when a minor victim was undressed, and/or being present for sex acts involving the minor victim and Epstein." She is expected to enter a plea deal next month.
