Maxwell Found Guilty (But What Happens Next?) - Irishman In America With Marion McKeone (Mini Pod)

Wednesday saw Ghislaine Maxwell convicted of sex trafficking but will this actually result in further charges, jail time and will others implicated in the case go to prison? Sunday Business Post US correspondent and our good friend Marion McKeone, explains what just happened, whether Maxwell’s appeal is already dead in the water and what she say while in the courtroom. With 300,000 new cases of Covid detected, is America even paying attention? Will this encourage or discourage other victims to come forward? We get an assessment of the Maxwell defence team and how their bully boy tactics backfired so horribly for the British socialite. Both Jarlath and Marion were caught off guard by this verdict. Why were so many so sure she would walk?
