Maxwell Asks for Trial Delay of Months After U.S. Expands Case Bloomberg 2 hrs ago Patricia Hurtado
(Bloomberg) Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually assault girls, asked that her July 12 trial be pushed back at least 90 days and possibly into next year to prepare for the government’s recently expanded case against her.
The U.S. added more heft to its prosecution in March with a fourth accuser and two new charges, alleging crimes as recent as the early 2000s and directly accusing Maxwell of sex-trafficking a minor. Maxwell, 59, has been in a federal lockup in Brooklyn, New York, since her arrest last July on charges including transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and two perjury counts. The new sex-trafficking charge alone carries a maximum statutory prison sentence of 40 years.

Three-time NBA Champion Dwyane Wade buys an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz, according to Woj of ESPN. This partnership with the Jazz ownership will allow Wade to get experience in the office setting of things, and there are plans to include him in organizational decisions. After all, you don’t bring on a guy like D Wade and not listen to what he has to say. He will have an active role with the franchise and in the “region”.
“This goes way beyond the dream I had to just play basketball in the NBA,” Wade tells ESPN. “…If this partnership is going to be anything like my relationship is with Ryan (Smith), there are going to be a lot of things that I’ll want to be involved in.” https://t.co/h1SnNJM2wz
