Horowitz - "An Acquittal Wouldn't Surprise Me": Lawyers Ask Why Just Four Epstein Accusers Were Called During Maxwell Trial

[ZERO] Now that the Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking trial is in the hands of the jury, lawyers representing some of Epstein's accusers are asking why just four victims were called by prosecutors (led by the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey).

"They had a mountain of evidence that they could have brought," said attorney Adam Horowitz, who has represented several Epstein victims, noting that the prosecution "had a very difficult burden and didn’t seem to put on as much evidence forward as I thought they would have."

Maxwell, who was Epstein's former girlfriend an subordinate, has been charged with grooming and enticing underage girls for sexual abuse by the convicted pedophile and his friends. He was found dead in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial for sex-trafficking, according to Bloomberg.

If convicted, the British socialite faces up to 40 years in prison. Her lawyers argued that she's being scapegoated for Epstein's crimes.

"An acquittal wouldn’t surprise me," said Horowitz. "It’s a difficult case and [the prosecution] put on some really good witnesses, but the defense did a good a job poking holes in some of them."

#1 Yup. Maxwell has too much dirt on very powerful people. And Epstein didn't kill himself.

#2 Something very odd is going on. The FBI may bave lost a warehouse sized load of evidence? Her connection to a foreign intelligence agency or two seems obvious and yet its not even touched by either side seeking more details or exculpatory evidence? Im looking for something unexpected.

#3 An acquittal would introduce 'double jeopardy' for what its worth these days (see any state charges). It does not rule out civil suits by the 'recruited' or 'accidents' that may follow.
