Ghislaine Maxwell asks Supreme Court to overturn conviction citing Epstein immunity deal
Maxwell, imprisoned 20 years for aiding Epstein’s sex trafficking of minors, seeks Supreme Court intervention to nullify her 2021 conviction. Her legal team cites a 2007 non-prosecution agreement, arguing it shields her, stating, “Promising ‘not to prosecute’ somehow meant preserving the right to prosecute.” This suggests deliberate governmental betrayal.
The agreement, they assert, has no geographic limits, yet prosecutors claim it’s Florida-only, excluding Maxwell’s New York charges. Her attorney, Markus, declares, “No one is above the law — not even the Southern District of New York.” Lower courts dismissed her appeal, but the government’s inconsistent application of the agreement hints at selective justice.
Her team’s claim of her third-party beneficiary status under contract law challenges the government’s narrative. The Justice Department’s silence fuels speculation of hidden motives. Maxwell’s case exposes potential cracks in prosecutorial integrity, raising questions about who the system shields.
