Ghislaine Maxwell trial
Discussion
Lord Marylebone said:
Apparently her lawyers are very worried about what the jury will think of her. They assembled numerous 'test juries' using people from the same geographical areas that the real jury will be selected from, and played them videos of Maxwell recorded during legal proceedings and meetings so far, then asked for their opinion.
The test juries overwhelmingly said they found Maxwell to be "Wholly unlikeable, very arrogant, suspicious and lacking credibility"
Where's the evidence to back that up? Sounds like tabloid tittle-tattle to me. If it was true the LAST thing the defence lawyers would have done is release the information publicly!The test juries overwhelmingly said they found Maxwell to be "Wholly unlikeable, very arrogant, suspicious and lacking credibility"
Look at giuffre though. If she had been coerced, trapped raped, that’s horrific. Yet it’s multiple times, multiple places, New York, London, is Virgin Islands , over a long time line. I question her not being able to escape after the first alleged time.
Professionally I’ve dealt with victims of Asian grooming gangs. That’s a whole another ball game when you’ve dirt poor kids from horrific backgrounds and the only time ever, someone shows them money and possibly a better life, is the rapist of them. They had no life, no prospect of escape from the horror and tragedy of their lives.
Right / wrong I still question how after the first incident, no break was made.

If she was in the uk she wouldn’t have been on remand and would also never see the inside of a jail cell even if found guilty of some minor offence. I love the fact that up till now she’s been in jail over there. I think she will be found not guilty so the fact she’s had to serve 18 months regardless, is fantastic news as it’s probably the closest to justice she will get.

It's not unusual for damaged people to stay in abusive relationships. How many times do we hear stories of women staying with abusive husbands/partners for years and years before finally escaping?Professionally I’ve dealt with victims of Asian grooming gangs.

No much coverage of this trial compared to Rittenhouse.
Guess the media is struggling to come up with a racist angle.
I thought Court TV might get access, but if the big Judge says it's not in the interests of justice to Guess the media is struggling to come up with a racist angle.
have the proceedings televised then that's it.
Procuring young girls for rich clients has been going on since God was a lad and hardly the crime of the century,
no one died, well apart from one, by his own hand.
Cant help but think they're just gunning for Maxwell cos she's a rich, privileged female, Eastern European gangs
kidnap and transport sex workers all over the world, who's looking out for those young girls ?

Thankfully, most of us no longer live in 13th century and providing children for wealthy people to rape is frowned upon in most parts of the world these days.ChevronB19 said:
Someone in my local Facebook group claiming the omicron variant has been made up specifically to divert attention from the trial.
Now that’s expert level tinfoil!

Meanwhile, the Jussie Smollett trial has also started, three years after the event, and a new BS covid variant is launched.
Quite a lot coming out already.
This seems to be updating the news pretty well....

A guilty verdict seems unlikely.

I'd be surprised if this is a not guilty for Maxwell. If she does go to prison it will be way better than the MDC. Every cloud and that.

What's the relevance to this trial? austinsmirk said:
I bet there’s some very powerful people worrying about what will be disclosed or equally being asked to step in and make the trial cease/ return a not guilty plea.
If there really was a black book, boxes of cctv tapes etc….
Although I’ve said it before: I still don’t get where/ why the parents of these 16/17 yr olds thought they were/ what they were doing etc.
“I’m just packing a bag to go work for a billionaire to be picked up in a limo and then jetted off on a private plane to an island. “
“Brilliant, what’s yr job”
“ personal massage, baby oil squirter and fluffer”
“ no worries love: give us three rings when you get there to tell us you’re ok”.
Perhaps they had terrible parents which left them vulnerable, which is often the case when children are exploited. If there really was a black book, boxes of cctv tapes etc….
