In her appeal, Maxwell’s lawyers said prosecutors scapegoated her because Epstein was dead and “public outrage” demanded that prosecutors pin blame somewhere.

The lawyers also said the government waited too long to bring charges, and that Maxwell was immune under a 2007 non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida.

In addition, Maxwell’s lawyers said the trial was tainted because one juror failed to disclose he had been sexually abused as a child.

Prosecutors believe the appeal is meritless.

    I am sure trump will pardon her. One last gesture for the good times sake. Old Friendship between them both and their common good Friend Jeffrey. When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
