Ghislaine Maxwell's Request To Privately Screen Jurors Before The Jury Pool  Was Selected

Ghislaine Maxwell's Request To Privately Screen Jurors Before The Jury Pool Was Selected

Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team requested that the court allow them to privately screen potential jurors ahead of her federal sex-trafficking trial, arguing that extensive media coverage and the high-profile nature of the case made it impossible to ensure impartiality in a public setting. Her lawyers pushed for closed-door questioning sessions, claiming that prospective jurors might be reluctant to speak candidly about sensitive topics like sexual abuse if reporters or spectators were present. They also urged the court to keep juror questionnaires sealed, arguing that making them public could allow individuals to manipulate their answers to secure a place on the jury.


The court, however, rejected Maxwell’s motion, siding with prosecutors and media organizations that argued transparency was vital in a case of such public importance. The judge ruled that jury selection must remain open to ensure accountability and to preserve confidence in the judicial process. Critics of Maxwell’s request saw it as a strategic ploy—one more attempt to control optics and quietly shape the jury pool in her favor. Given the longstanding pattern of secrecy surrounding Maxwell and Epstein’s operations, her team’s push for privacy only reinforced perceptions that she sought to keep damaging information from ever seeing daylight.

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's  Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 37-38) (11/2/25)

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 37-38) (11/2/25)

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Former Prince Andrew And His Secret Benefactor

Former Prince Andrew And His Secret Benefactor

Prince Andrew has managed to retain his residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor after securing funds from an undisclosed benefactor. This financial support emerged following King Charles III's decision to cut Andrew's £1 million annual allowance and discontinue payments for his private security. The legitimacy of these funds has been confirmed through a financial review led by Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse.The Duke of York's ability to maintain his 31-room estate has been a point of contention, especially given his diminished role within the royal family. Despite the financial challenges, Andrew's new source of income has enabled him to uphold his living arrangements, highlighting ongoing complexities within the House of Windsor regarding royal privileges and financial independence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Reveal who stumped up millions for stay at Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew told... as Duke says he can pay for Windsor home and avoid eviction by King | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
