Beyond reasonable doubt. she denies grooming girls for the late convicted paedophile, jeffrey epstein. our correspondent nada tawfik has been outside the courthouse in new york. the defence has rested its case today and it comes after ghislaine maxwell decided not to take the stand in her own defence. as she stood up and addressed the judge, she said that there was no need for her to testify because the prosecution had not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. so a very defiant response t...

We are now set to have closing statements from both sides on monday. the defence�*s case, after initially saying they might call 35 witnesses, they rested after calling nine witnesses and none really revealing too much more to help their case. it seems that the defence is really relying on their cross—examination that happened during the prosecutions case of the key four accusers, hoping that they have shown enough doubt injurors minds to avoid a conviction for their client, ghislaine maxwel...

Trafficking and other crimes. she chose not to testify. our correspondent nada tawfik has been outside the courthouse in new york. the defence has rested its case today, and it comes after ghislaine maxwell decided not to take the stand in her own defence, as she stood up and address thejudge, she said that there was no need to testify because the prosecution had not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. so a very defiant response there from ghislaine maxwell, who has been very involved t...

I make so many mistakes myself, im not a big one for throwing stones. my favourite story in the bible — one of my favourites — is when someone is dragged out in front ofjesus, a woman caught in adultery, and they say, "should she be stoned?" and jesus just says, "those without sin cast the first stone." and all her accusers go away and he says, "does nobodyjudge you?" and she says, "nobody did." and he says, "well, go away and dont do it again." now, thats jesus. that seems quite a good exam...

Of that former officer could come as early as friday. legal experts have described it as a bold move. you dont always see defendants taking the stand in their own defense. but it likely signals that defense attorneys are confident that their client will come across to the jury as believable. of course, it also comes with certain risks. by testifying she opens herself up to cross-examination by prosecution lawyers who no doubt have spent months plotting questions they would want to ask this offic...

Very defiant response there from ghislaine maxwell, who has been very involved throughout this whole trial, passing notes to her lawyers during cross—examination of the accusers and others who have testified, understating that she will not tell her side of the story on the stand. of course, that would have been a very risky strategy, opening her up to intense cross—examination by prosecutors, but really this trial is moving incredibly fast. we are now set to have closing statements from both...

And all her accusers go away and he says, "does nobodyjudge you?" and she says, "nobody did." and he says, "well, go away and dont do it again." now, thats jesus. that seems quite a good example, really, particularly in myjob. and i dont really do much onjudging people, but it is... we must obey the rules. we have to depersonalise it. lets get away from that example. and i would say, obey the rules, stick to the rules. but you also said, archbishop, you said yourself that - you make many mistake...

Ghislaine Maxwell's defence calls ‘false memories’ expert to testify in sex abuse trial

And the one way theyre trying to do this is that they want to call a lawyer for one of the women because they want to make the point they were motivated by money, and thats the reason they came forward with these allegations against maxwell and the reason why they are testifying in this trial. so the judge is allowing them to question one of the attorneys for the accuser who went by the name jane. she was the first witness in the case among the accusers, and she testified how she meant maxwell a...

In the late �*90s and early 20005. she says shes not guilty. nada tawfik is in new york. what did we hear from the first witness, kimberley espinosa? well, its very clear why she was chosen as the first to speak. she spoke very glowingly about ghislaine maxwell, saying she became her executive assistant after working with epstein, and that she was a demanding boss but one that she had a lot of respect for. then the defence started asking her about one of the key accusers that is underpinning t...
