Lawyers for Maxwell, now serving a 20 year sentence, argued her case was used to satisfy ‘public outrage’ over Jeffrey Epstein
Ghislaine Maxwell has asked a US appeals court to throw out her conviction for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, saying she was immune from prosecution and citing a slew of errors that allegedly tainted her trial.
In a Tuesday night filing with the second US circuit court of appeals in Manhattan, Maxwell said that if her conviction and the underlying indictment were not thrown out, she deserved a new trial or a re-sentencing.
