The letter is from Bobbi C. Sternheim, representing Ghislaine Maxwell, requesting a trial continuance due to a superseding indictment that expands the charges and time period of the alleged conduct. The defense argues that the new charges require additional time for investigation and preparation, especially given the voluminous discovery materials and the impact of COVID-19 restrictions. The letter criticizes the government's opposition to the continuance and highlights the challenges faced by the defense, including the need to review extensive discovery materials and prepare for a longer trial. The defense requests a 90-day continuance and outlines the potential prejudice to Ms. Maxwell due to her continued detention and media coverage.
