NEW YORK (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend and longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell asked a federal judge on Wednesday to set aside her sex trafficking conviction and free her from a 20-year prison sentence, saying “substantial new evidence” has emerged proving that constitutional violations spoiled her trial.
Maxwell maintained in a habeas petition she has promised to file since August that information that would have resulted in her exoneration at her 2021 trial was withheld and false testimony was presented to the jury.
She said the cumulative effect of the constitutional violations resulted in a “complete miscarriage of justice.”
“Since the conclusion of her trial, substantial new evidence has emerged from related civil actions, Government disclosures, investigative reports, and documents demonstrating constitutional violations that undermined the fairness of her proceeding,” the filing in Manhattan federal court said. “In the light of the full evidentiary record, no reasonable juror would have convicted her.”
The filing came just two days before records in her case were scheduled to be released publicly as a result of President Donald Trump’s signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law, signed after months of public and political pressure, requires the Justice Department to provide the public with Epstein-related records by Dec. 19.
Yeaaah but some of us are commenting from the sidelines in countries with free speech
Yeah but do you have any oil perchance? Did you use olive oil with your eggs this morning? If so, THEY’RE COMING.
With the way Trump talks about Canada and the fact we do have oil, you might not be wrong :(
Y’all about to get freedom’d
You’re welcome to try, if you want to realize why Russia has had such an unfun time so far trying to invade a country whose people already speak your language and are mostly visually indistinguishable from you. The US does not have a good track record of successfully enduring in an occupation against guerilla warfare in the first place. If you thought Vietnam and Afghanistan were bad, or the 9/11 terror attacks were bad, there’s always a way it can get much, much worse and much more widespread. Nukes and strategic bombers and all the other wonderweapons the US has aren’t the “I win” button the US thinks they are. Those can make an army and a government surrender, but they can’t make a people surrender. And it’s the people they’ll have to worry about in the long run. Especially in Canada. Grab SKS, go inna woods. There’s a loooooot of woods up here.
I suspect if something like that happened you’d see a lot of “refugees” streaming north across the border.
Picking a fight with our northern cousins is absolutely a losing move that only a loser would consider.
We would welcome you and would invite you to grab scary black assault rifle, go inna woods too. There are plenty of woods here for everyone.
Brother I love hockey, pancakes, beer, AND the woods. I’m sorry my government is full of idiots.
