(Isa Cox, The Western Journal) An attorney for notorious British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who stands accused of recruiting underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, has penned a letter to a federal judge decrying her client’s treatment in prison.

The attorney is requesting bail for Maxwell, whose trial is set to begin on Nov. 29, for the sixth time. Maxwell has thus far been denied bail because she has been deemed a flight risk, Sky News reported.
This time around, attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim is claiming that Maxwell’s treatment in jail can be compared to that of Hannibal Lecter in the movie “The Silence of the Lambs.”
Maxwell, Sternheim wrote, “suffers from headaches and back pain and general physical weakness,” and also claims to have been “touched in a sexually inappropriate manner by corrections officers on multiple occasions.”
“Many of the officers are openly hostile toward her and have mentioned having read the press and seen various television shows which amplify their hostility,” she added.
Sternheim also said a U.S. Marshals Service investigation is underway after a staff member allegedly threatened Maxwell, reportedly telling the accused madame, “You think you are special. You are not special. Remember you are in custody and the judge doesn’t care about you.”
I mean, Maxwell isn’t special; she’s the same as any other prisoner, and judges should regard both the accused and the accusers dispassionately in order to remain impartial — right? I’m sorry, this is still America, isn’t it?
Sternheim argued that Maxwell’s treatment is “reprehensible and utterly inappropriate for a woman on the cusp of turning 60 with no criminal record or history of violence” and that if she remains in custody “it is highly likely that she will not have the stamina to assist in her defence and endure the physical demands of a five-day per week, multi-week court proceedings.”
Maxwell is reportedly subject to “flashlight checks” every 15 minutes in her cell at the Metropolitan Correction Center in Brooklyn.
Remember, the point of this whole argument is to get Maxwell out of jail so she can await trial in a fancy Manhattan penthouse or perhaps jump bail and spend the rest of her days hiding out on some Greek island, which diminishes considerably the already slim chance that anyone might feel sorry for her, much less the judge who has denied her bail five times.
But the comparison to Hannibal Lecter certainly does Maxwell no favors — the public already views this woman as the cold, calculating accomplice of a notorious pedophile. Bear in mind that she’s also been accused of abusing young women herself.
Bringing to mind a fictional serial killer who literally feasted on human flesh does little to minimize the perception that Maxwell preyed upon innocent, vulnerable girls.
What’s more, Epstein’s “apparent suicide,” as Sky News astutely characterized it, drew outraged scrutiny from the public as well; in fact, few things have been more unifying in our otherwise highly divided times than the widespread belief that — say it with me now — Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Maxwell absolutely ought to be considered innocent until proven guilty and, again, we certainly hope she is receiving fair treatment, but forgive us for wanting her to stay behind bars until her trial.
I hardly think the court of public opinion will be very indignant to hear that she’s being checked on regularly to make sure she doesn’t also succumb to an “apparent suicide.”
It’s not up for debate that Maxwell is a wealthy, jet-setting socialite who has lived all her life in the lap of luxury and evaded charges for the role she allegedly played in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring for years.
This is a woman with enough money and connections to disappear.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

This is what happens when the Devil is done with you, he uses you for his evil and throws you to the wolves. I pray that Maxwell will give her life to God the Father/Jesus Christ the only true God, because what she is going through now is a piece of cake compared to what the Devil has instore for her in the hereafter.
Isaiah 14:11
Your majesty has been brought down to the underworld, along with the sound of your harps. Under you is a bed of maggots, and worms are your blanket.
Mark 9:43-48
It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
Revelation 21:8
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.
That’s what I liked to say and I add some more to it: What she did to all those young girls over so many years and what they still have to go through, what she is currently experiencing is still a luxury vacation with room service! The real hard times come when she is used personally as a sub by her Lord Lucifer!!
