Ghislaine Maxwell’s Trial Opens With Her Lawyer Diving Straight Into the Muck

Slate  

Outside the Thurgood Marshall federal courthouse in lower Manhattan this morning, the media throng assembled to cover day one of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. She described Maxwell as Epstein’s “lady of the house.” She accused Maxwell of making young girls “feel seen” as a means of luring them into Epstein’s clutches, and of enabling the multimillionaire’s pedophilia in exchange for being cosseted “in the lifestyle to which she was accustomed.” Maxwell’s lead defense attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, then took the podium, which, as a COVID precaution, was a plexiglass box set in the middle of the courtroom like some kind of weird vacuum chamber. She began by asserting that women have been blamed for men’s bad behavior “ever since Eve was accused of tempting Adam with the apple.” She said the government was “pointing the finger” at Maxwell because Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his New York City prison cell in 2019, was no longer alive to be pointed at. Sternheim acknowledged that Maxwell lived a “comfortable” lifestyle as Epstein’s chic consort, but took care to remind the jury that luxurious indulgences “are not crimes.” She minimized Epstein’s private jets as simply “a Hamptons jitney in the air” and a slightly elevated form of “commuting.” She also mentioned—in a moment that no doubt perked the ears of every journalist watching—that there were “famous” people on those flights. But this stray mention of the luminaries aboard Epstein’s flights became all the more intriguing when, immediately after opening statements, the government’s first witness turned out to be Epstein’s longtime pilot—the man who flew the fabled “Lolita Express.” The trial adjourned for the day before he had time to say anything notable.
