Court Filing: 20-cr-330-AJN Document 11202 Filed 03/23/21 Page 6 of 18
The document discusses the proposed bail conditions for Ghislaine Maxwell, including the imposition of a monitor to supervise her assets. Judge William S. Duffey, Jr. has been proposed as the asset monitor. The government opposes this proposal, citing concerns about Maxwell's candor.
Court Filing - Letter to Judge: 310
The defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell submits a letter to Judge Alison J. Nathan, drawing parallels between Maxwell's case and the recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision in Commonwealth v. Cosby, arguing that the government reneged on its promise not to prosecute Maxwell, similar to the Cosby case. The letter requests the court to consider this new precedent in deciding on the pending motion to dismiss certain counts of the indictment against Maxwell.
Court Opinion: 310-1
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania considered Cosby's appeal, focusing on whether the District Attorney's 2005 decision not to prosecute Cosby should be enforced, given that it led to Cosby's incriminating testimony in a civil deposition. The court ultimately decided that the decision not to prosecute must be enforced, which disposed of the appeal.
Court Filing - Restitution Calculation: A-6043
The document is a restitution calculation for 23 clients of Jenkins and Gilchrist, detailing tax benefits taken, tax deficiencies, and interest accrued. The total tax deficiency for all clients is $110,520,308, with total interest of $121,140,226. The document appears to be a supporting document for a court case, likely related to tax evasion or fraud.
