Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)
Sigrid, Please see the attached order regarding the trial date in this case. We will update you when we have more information. Thanks, Assistant United States Attorney United States Attorney's Office Southern District of New York
Just as a follow up. I just heard back from and she said her strong preference is as early as possible in the fall — early September would be her preference. and her husband are going through the process of trying to adopt a baby and the birth mother is due in early November (and of course babies can sometimes come a bit earlier). The birth mother has not finalized the match so this is a fluid situation but wants to make sure she is able to be there when the baby is born and of course care for her newborn immediately following the birth. I will keep you updated but strong preference is for as early as possible. All my best, Sigrid
Sigrid, Do you have a few minutes to speak tonight or tomorrow? Please let us know when works for you. Thanks,
Yes. I can talk anytime now until 5:30 and then from 6:00 - 7:15 if any of those times work? Tomorrow I am open from 9-10 or 12-2. Please let me know what works for you. Best, Sigrid
Hi Sigrid, Thanks so much for making the time to talk. We're free at 6:45 tonight, if that still works. We can use this conference line:
That works - I will dial in at 6:45.
Sigrid, We are preparing our letter to the Court about the trial date, which is due on Monday. Based on our conversation, we believe the following is accurate but please let us know if you would like to discuss: [Redacted] is available to testify at a trial if it is scheduled to begin November 29, 2021. [Redacted] would likely be unavailable for trial between October 1, 2021 and Thanksgiving. Thanks, [Redacted]
Hello -that looks correct. What was Maxwell's proposal on a date? Best Sigrid
I can just refer her back to the defense letter on April 22, 2021 filed on the docket requesting a continuance to November 8, 2021 unless there is something else you have in mind.
