The Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the Supreme Court on Monday to reject Ghislaine’s appeal to overturn her conviction.
Known as Jeffrey’s right-hand woman, Ghislaine was convicted in 2021 for trafficking teenage girls and is currently serving 20 years in a prison in Tallahassee, Florida.

“Our sister Ghislaine did not receive a fair trial,” her family said in a recent statement.
The convicted Jeffrey associate is ready to “file a writ of habeas corpus” that would “allow her to challenge her imprisonment,” the family added.

The new filing would be based on “new evidence such as government misconduct that would have likely changed the trial’s outcome,” the family said.
They also claimed that prosecutors shouldn’t have been able to go after her because of a 2007 plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein.

As per the deal, which many saw as overly lenient, the Department of Justice vowed not to prosecute any of his co-conspirators if he “paid fines, paid ‘victims’ millions of dollars and served 13 months in Prison,” as reported by the Daily Mail.
However, prosecutors used a loophole because the deal only applied to prosecutions in Florida, whereas Ghislaine was prosecuted in New York.

The Maxwell family accused the court of “applying an incorrect guideline range and offense level” and wants Ghislaine to have a resentencing.
“An innocent woman is in jail,” her brother Ian Maxwell told The Spectator last week.

The family’s statement came after the Department of Justice said in a memo this month that no “client list” was found. The memo also said that there was evidence to conclude that the billionaire took his own life behind bars.
His body was found in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in 2019, while he was waiting for trial.
Conspiracy theorists have since speculated about whether he was executed to stop him from implicating celebrities, business tycoons, government officials, and other high-profile figures connected to the crimes.

It was long rumored that Jeffrey had a “client list” of celebrities and politicians, but the recent memo dispelled these theories as well.
“My sister has always maintained there was never such a thing. It never existed,” Ghislaine’s brother Ian said in his recent interview.
“If you prick a conspiracy the balloon goes down and people wonder why they’ve been fooled,” he added.

The Department of Justice on Monday asked the Supreme Court to reject Ghislaine’s appeal to overturn her conviction.
This was in response to the longtime Jeffrey associate submitting a plea in April to overturn her conviction, claiming she was covered by the 2007 deal about his co-conspirators.
Ghislaine’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, claimed he would be surprised if the US president “knew his lawyers were asking the Supreme Court to let the government break a deal. He’s the ultimate dealmaker.”
“I’m sure he’d agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it,” the lawyer continued. “With all the talk about who’s being prosecuted and who isn’t, it’s especially unfair that Ghislaine Maxwell remains in prison based on a promise the government made and broke.”

Netizens had mixed reactions to the latest developments, with some saying, “She is so guilty!” On the other hand, some sided with Ghislaine.
“Well if we can’t prove there were any customers I believe her! No list no trafficking charges,” one said.
“If I was her I would be doing this exact same thing. No client list, all this attention,” another wrote. “Perfect timing for her. How did she traffick if there was no one to traffic too?”
“I say cut her a deal and let her expose everyone involved,” another said.
One said, “She is the only one that knows the truth. Give her witness protection program and we might finally get the truth.”

“She groomed those girls,” one netizen commented, while another wrote, “She’s just as evil as Epstein”

The existence of a "list" has no bearing on her conviction. She was convicted of child s*x trafficking, regardless of who committed the abuse at the end of that trafficking, that is still a crime in itself. And of course she is not going to say who was involved, because then she would be admitting her guilt. This is just another effort to try and get off, the original deal with Epstein only gave her immunity from prosecution in one state, so left her open to prosecution in another.

You know who else has the Epstein files? Social media companies, cell phone companies, Apple, Google, Meta and other tech bro companies. There is ZERO percent chance these women weren't trafficked through sites like instagram and all these companies have location services built into their platforms. As it stands, her family is teeing her up to be released (if the government has closed the case then there is noone to traffic). She'll be released soon and will get to live the rest of her life on a private island funded by all the evil rich predators who funded the island. The question is - why are these companies protecting the predators?

This woman is guilty as hell but if there was no one involved in ra.pes why is she in jail? Epstein was ki.lled to prevent him from talking and nothing else.

The lack of a list of rapists doesn't mean there weren't any. Very few pimps keep lists. If this one did, we don't need to see it to know crimes were committed so long as the victims are credible.

Welp - typical selfish short-sighted conservative move leads to 'unforeseen consequences'. If you claim now that there was no client list - she can claim there isn't a reason for her to be in jail - since she was apparently facilitating the trafficking to the clients.... that apparently now don't exist...

The lack of a list doesn't imply the lack of clients. Not the same thing at all.
