Jeffrey Epstein Maxwell Trial This courtroom sketch shows Ghislaine Maxwell, center, seated in court at defense table between two US Marshals seated in foreground, watching proceedings in her sex abuse trial in New York, Friday Dec. 10, 2021. Cimberly Espinosa, the first defense witness, told a jury she was Maxwell’s assistant at Epstein's New York City office on Madison Avenue from 1996 to 2002. “I looked up to her very much.”The defense case began after the jury heard four women detail accusations that they were teens when they became victims of a sex-abuse scheme devised by Maxwell and Epstein. The British socialite's attorneys are expected to make their case that Maxwell isn't the one to blame. The government's case lasted only two weeks and the defense case could last just two days.

Starting Thursday, the British socialite's attorneys are expected to make their case that Maxwell isn't the one to blame. The government's case lasted only two weeks and the defense case could last just two days. The start of the defense case has already sparked the usual speculation about whether the high-profile defendant will take the witness stand in her own defense — a gamble that is almost never taken. The defense has insisted that Maxwell is being made a scapegoat for alleged sex crimes by Epstein, who killed himself in jail in 2019.

After James and Jennifer Crumbley, who are charged with involuntary manslaughter, were declared "fugitives" after they failed to appear in court.

The two deputy marshals injured in the 5:30 a.m. confrontation at a Bronx apartment were treated at a hospital and were expected to recover. One was hit in the leg and another was struck in his arm and leg, according to federal officials. Andre Sterling, 35, was killed in the shootout and his gun was recovered at the scene. Sterling was wanted for the Nov. 20 shooting of a trooper during a late-night traffic stop in Hyannis, on Cape Cod. Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said the deputies were executing a fugitive warrant his office issued for Sterling when they were confronted with gunfire.
