THE DEFENSE’S ARGUMENT

Maxwell’s lawyer Bobbi Sternheim previously cast doubt on the accusers’ claims and argued Maxwell was a “scapegoat” for the multimillionaire pedophile’s crimes.

“Memories fade over time and this case you will learn that not only have memories faded, but they have been contaminated by outside information, constant media reports and other influences,” she said.

“The government is trying to stitch together stories of four different people, four different stories to support a pattern.

“But the only pattern you will see here is the success of those four people getting big money awards from the Epstein fund.

“They have been impacted by lawyers, by media, by things they have read, things they have heard. And by money. Big Bucks.”
