It is led by Arthur Aidala, the lawyer that represented Harvey Weinstein at his first sex crimes trial in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell\u2019s lawyers argued that she was denied a fair trial, due to one of the jurors failing to disclose his own history of sexual abuse during jury selection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIrrespective of whether the juror\u2019s false statements were intentional, which they clearly were, the similarities between the traumatic experiences described by the juror and the victims in the case, together with the juror\u2019s public statements, established the juror\u2019s bias,\u201d written in the appellate brief.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell\u2019s lawyers also claim her \u201cdeplorable\u201d jail conditions subjected her to raw sewage, sleep and water deprivation, and hyper-surveillance leaving her \u201cso disoriented and diminished\u201d that she could not properly aid her defense.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell\u2019s lawyers argued that the charges were barred by a five-year statute of limitations, and restored \u201cdecades-old allegations\u201d previously blamed on Epstein, who committed suicide in prison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government prosecuted Ms. Maxwell as a proxy for Jeffrey Epstein. It did so to satisfy public outrage over an unpopular non-prosecution agreement and the death of the person responsible for the crimes,\u201d Aidala said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghislaine Maxwell seeks to have her conviction thrown out because she claims a series of errors damaged the integrity of her trial and prosecutors made her a scapegoat because the financier was dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1754,"featured_media":1898451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Ghislaine Maxwell wants her sex trafficking conviction overturned","footnotes":""},"categories":[542],"tags":[15927,9005,9004,9579,7937,4444],"class_list":["post-1865102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oann","tag-conviction","tag-ghislaine","tag-maxwell","tag-overturned","tag-sex","tag-trafficking"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Ghislaine Maxwell wants her sex trafficking conviction overturned","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1865102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1754"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1865102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1865102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1898451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1865102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1865102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1865102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
