    Guilty

    She will appeal.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-trial-verdict
    British former socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has been found guilty in her Manhattan federal court trial.

    Maxwell, 60, was arrested in July 2020, charged with involvement in ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls, some as young as 14.

    Epstein, a convicted sex offender and presumed billionaire, counted Prince Andrew and former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump as cronies before killing himself in a New York jail in 2019, about one month after his sex-trafficking arrest.

    The verdict marks a dramatic conclusion to an unexpectedly fast-moving trial: proceedings were originally expected to take at least six weeks. Prosecutors called 24 witnesses over 10 days, and defense attorneys called nine witnesses over two days.

    Prosecutors said that Maxwell “preyed on vulnerable young girls, manipulated them and served them up to be sexually abused” by Epstein. There were four accusers in this case: Jane, Kate and Carolyn, who did not use their full names, and Annie Farmer.

    Her only way out is to give evidence on all those who attended

    Not good optics for Prince Andrew now if she talks

        Too late for that now - she pleaded not guilty so any and all evidence she provides has to be treated as inaccurate
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Not if she got written/video evidence, pretty clear that Epstein was holding up some cards for blackmail

          Her immediate problem is how to survive in jail, ironically she probably ain't got tulip otherwise she would have done a deal already

                  FFS some juror has now been saying he was sexually abused, and told the other jurors about it so there may be a mis-trial.

                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
