In Part II of our deep dive into the Ghislaine Maxwell case, we begin with BOP Prison consultant, Walter Pavlo of prisonology.com to talk about her transfer to a minimum security camp. Then, we resume with Mark Allenbaugh of sentencingstats.com for one of our famous "sentencing post-mortems" to see what we can learn from Maxwell's sentencing proceeding.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Maxwell's unprecedented transfer to a minimum camp;
- Cheers for the government for understanding the power of narrative lies in the specifics;
- Cheers to the defense for creating a theme (Epstein's empty chair) and telling her human (redemption) story;
- Cheers to the defense for zero mention of the Booker case and unnecessary boilerplate – we all know the guidelines are advisory;
- Cheers to outside the box advocacy where the defense lawyer personally addresses the victims of her own client's crimes;
- Jeers for ignoring the stats and life expectancy arguments.
