Notable Quotes 3
Adding charges that were never launched against Jeffrey Epstein based on evidence that was in the government's possession for years is shocking, unfair, and an abuse of power.
The timing suggests that the decision to supersede was prompted by the filing of defense pretrial motions and government concern about the now-apparent weakness of its case.
Surely, the Court can impose conditions that "clip her wings" and satisfy perceived flight concerns without keeping Ms. Maxwell locked in a BOP cage.
Red Flags 2
- Allegations of tactical gamesmanship by the government in filing the superseding indictment late in the process.
- Concerns about the government's motives for filing the superseding indictment.
