US EditionGhislaine Maxwell to ask court to free her from prison
Maxwell seeks release via self-representation in a habeas corpus petition amid ongoing legal challenges to grand jury material disclosures, after serving part of a 20-year sentence.
- On Wednesday, David Oscar Markus told a Manhattan federal court that Ghislaine Maxwell will soon file a habeas corpus petition seeking release from the prison where she is serving a 20-year sentence.
- The Supreme Court recently rejected Maxwell's appeal, and Markus filed his letter responding to the Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury transcripts and modify protective orders.
- Markus said Maxwell plans to file pro se, and the filing did not state the legal grounds for her habeas petition on Wednesday.
- Markus argued releasing grand jury materials would create undue prejudice that could foreclose a fair retrial if her habeas petition succeeds, while Epstein's estate lawyers said they do not take a position given promised redactions.
