Ghislaine Maxwell on suicide watch, may seek sentencing delay: lawyer

NEW YORK — Ghislaine Maxwell has been put on suicide watch at a Brooklyn jail, and may seek to delay her Tuesday sentencing for aiding Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage girls, her lawyer said on Saturday night.
In a letter to the judge overseeing Maxwell’s case, Maxwell’s lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, said her client is “unable to properly prepare, for sentencing,” after officials at the Metropolitan Detention Center on Friday declared the suicide watch and abruptly moved Maxwell to solitary confinement.
Sternheim said Maxwell was given a “suicide smock,” and her clothing, toothpaste, soap and legal papers were taken away.
The lawyer also said Maxwell “is not suicidal,” a conclusion she said a psychologist who evaluated the 60-year-old British socialite on Saturday morning also reached.

“If Ms. Maxwell remains on suicide watch, is prohibited from reviewing legal materials prior to sentencing, becomes sleep-deprived, and is denied sufficient time to meet with and confer with counsel, we will be formally moving on Monday for an adjournment,” Sternheim wrote.
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan, whose office prosecuted Maxwell, declined to comment.
Epstein, 66, killed himself in August 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell, where the financier was awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
A character witness has been called for convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell ahead of her sentencing.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s childhood pal will be only character witness at sentencing
Maxwell was convicted on Dec. 29 on five criminal counts, including sex trafficking, for recruiting and grooming four girls for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004.
Prosecutors have said Maxwell should spend at least 30 years in prison, citing her “utter lack of remorse.” Maxwell wants a term shorter than 20 years.
The sentence will be imposed by U.S. Circuit Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan federal court.
Maxwell has been held in the Brooklyn jail since shortly after her July 2020 arrest.
Her lawyers objected multiple times before trial about the confinement conditions there, including last November when Sternheim likened them to Hannibal Lecter’s from the 1991 Oscar-winning film “The Silence of the Lambs.”

It will be absolutely amazing when one of the biggest high profile “non-suicidal” people commits suicide soon. I will be 100% flabbergasted.

To show how much she agrees with RvW, sHitlary has agreed to perform a 726 month abortion on Maxwell.

Have they put her on Arkancide watch?

Just as an independent thought, not weighing in on the nefarious aspects of this situation as well as Epstein’s demise, it cannot be disputed that both she and Epstein are about as far from jail material as it gets, i.e. they weren’t made to be serving no extremely extended hard labor time. I’m certain both would indeed rather be dead than to have to do so.

Putting her on suicide watch is moving her to solitary and having Ray Charles and ronnie Millsaps watching here.

Sounds like she is maybe doing some last second white hat renegotiating..on special 5000 sq ft personal prison building, with added personal guards, steam/sauna, wet bar, boytoy conjugal visitations, Directtv with all bells/whistles and NFL Sunday Ticket, her own personal chef paid by her, bringing in her own furniture..and none of those garish orange jumpsuits.

As evil and deserving of Hell on Earth as any human being ever convicted for such heinous crimes, if that compromise released the full "customer" list, unredacted, I might OK with it.
