Sleep-deprived Ghislaine Maxwell needs bail to prepare for trial -lawyer

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ghislaine Maxwell deserves bail because her "horrific" jail conditions make it impossible to prepare for trial on charges she procured teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, her lawyer told a U.S. appeals court on Monday.

The lawyer David Markus said it's unfair to force Maxwell to review millions of pages of materials from behind bars, with guards waking her with flashlights every 15 minutes on a misplaced concern she might, like Epstein, commit suicide.

"We just want a fair opportunity, a fair chance, so she can get ready for the trial of her life," Markus told a panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. "It's impossible to prepare for trial when you're getting no sleep."

Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to helping Epstein recruit and groom three girls for sex from 1994 to 1997, and sex trafficking for grooming and paying a fourth girl for nude massages and sex acts with the financier from 2001 to 2004.

1. Any excuse to get out and disappear

2. "My client can best prepare for trial from an undisclosed location overseas"

3. My client is uncomfortable in jail, therefore she should be allowed to leave

4. If sleep deprivation & continuous monitoring keeps her safe for trial then so be it n/t

5. ....

6. I just noticed that "Ghislaine" and "Ghoul" are both words that begin with "GH".

Coincidence? I don't think so. I hope she's prepared for the many sleepless nights that
are to come for her.

7. How Many People In Jail For...

...major felony charges involving victimization of children get bail?
When the number reaches 50%, we'll discuss her situation.

8. Imagine an attorney for a POC making the same request. Why should this monster have any

Special treatment

9. She deserves no different treatment than a million others.

She's not the only one awaiting trial. Do it for her and all the others should get the same treatment.
There are others who have been locked up for over a year and still haven't been to court yet.

10. If the flashlights bother her, leave the lights on all night and give her a sleep mask.

Problem solved. Heck, just give her a sleep mask.

11. Excellent idea. Waking up with

flashlights every 15 minutes sounds extreme no matter who one is. Navalny complained about being woken that way every 30 minutes.

12. I say

NO FUCKING WAY!

13. Oh the poor dear!

Too bad!
