maxwell was compartmentalized from jeffrey epstein's life. that's certainly what they said in their opening arguments. >> and let's play a clip from your special that gets into the dynamic between maxwell and epstein. >> sources who knew them during this time told me that he insisted she lose weight. and she did. that he could be incredibly abusive to her in public, and she put up with it in silence. >> is maxwell also a victim of epstein's abuse and manipulation, do you think? what do you make of that question, and do you expect the defense to play up that angle? >> so, it's complicated, jim. we did hear from from him on how all articles of clothing would be asked to be removed and how other women would come and stay. the defense suggested this was a secret between the house manager and epstein. so, clearly this was an attempt to show how manipulative epstein was and that maxwell was someone who was a victim, if you want to use that word, of those manipulations. having said all of that, so far i don't think you've seen the defense try necess

epstein, epstein was jailed in 2019 based on charges of sex traffic minors. but he committed suicide in prison while awaiting trial. in the current court case of killing maxwell, she was found to have helped epstein systematically procure young girls some as young as 14. the charges against maxwell were brought forward by 4 victims, but many more feel they have been served justice. this is a victory for all of the victims of miss maxwell and abstain. moreover, i think this is a victory for all young children, boys, girls, women, and men who are victims of abusers like this. it will give them the needed push to step forward and to speak their truth and to hopefully get justice like these young girls. how with respect to miss maxwell, the defense as to 60 year old is being used as a scapegoat for other people's crimes. i. we firmly believe in glenn's innocence. obviously, we are very disappointed with the verdict. we have already started working on the appeal, and we are confident that she will be vindicated everyone the healthy, have a happy new year. how you

that is a former pilot of jeffrey epstein. this was after a full day of jury selection and opening statements from both the government and the defense. and in those opening statements, of course, both sides were laying out their cases to the jurors in this federal court room. and essentially the government alleging that ghislaine maxwell recruited these women and groomed them to exploit them to jeffrey epstein, essentially saying anything that happened behind closed doors on jeffrey epstein's properties ghislaine maxwell knew it. she was the lady of the house and she played a part in the manipulation of these women and, in part, was very much aware of what was going on with jeffrey epstein. now, the defense says that she herself is a victim, and that she is being vilified for the crimes that jeffrey epstein committed. so we're getting really a sneak peek of what both lawyers are going to layout in this what's supposed to be a six-week trial for the six federal charges that ghislaine maxwell now faces. and, again, testimony wil

that means the jury found that she had an agreement with jeffrey epstein to do this. that is what the jury found. those two are in cahoots. she should have walked in the courtroom and testified. she could have been the victim will mike fifth victim to say the monster in this case is eps. he manipulated me and guess what, he is dead. she might have been acquitted. >> mike: the defenses argument the women went after her for money but it didn't work, did it? >> no, they had a lot of different things that they would call defense. i'm not sure any prosecutor wouldn't salivate at the idea of cross-examining maxwell for all of the things she would have a hard time explaining. so i don't know if there was any great defense to win the day. you had victims who said she didn't only entice them but physically participated in the sex abuse. that is devastating stuff to hear from four different voices. >> mike: brian what do you look forward to the sentencing? >> i think there will be aggravating factors. i think that a judge is going to hit her hard. my, these are serious charges.

jeffrey epstein is still very much an enigma. we know he was a sex offender, but there's a great deal we don't know. we know it was a con artist, criminal, embezzler, possibly a spy, an arms dealer, and a math teacher. he was able to lure not just young girls but powerful men into his mansions where there was some sort of powerful kind of concierge club happening. what they were doing, we still don't know. and so therefore, i think a lot of people have reason to be nervous for ghislaine maxwell's trial. >> absolutely. and let's play another clip from your special. this one focuses on epstein. >> he was a mr. fix-it. he was a sensitive in a certain manner. he was careful, eloquent. he's very intelligent. he knows if he's going to be trapped. he traps you more than he's trapped. >> there's this idea with epstein out of the picture that maxwell has to be the so-called fall guy in all of this. do you buy that? >> well, it doesn't matter what i think, jim. it's what she -- whether or not she can convince the jury. i think you're going

it wasn't just about jeffrey epstein. it was about showing maxwell's connection to his enterprise and what her specific role was and what she did. >> charles, it's jonathan. ghislaine maxwell was found guilty of five of six. i want to get your sense why there was the one not guilty verdict and the likelihood of any sort of success for the inevitable appeal. >> well, jonathan, i thought about that and one of the things i keep coming back to, one of the notes from the jury, the jury asked for a note asking for the definition of enticement. when you look at that not guilty verdict with regard to the one charge, the word of enticement is what got them hung up. that related to one specific victim who testified and i think ultimately for the jury they weren't necessarily comfortable with the language in the jury instruction and in the charge so that's why you saw an acquittal on the charge itself. as it relates to the appeal, i don't see any real reason -- there was nothing from my observation in terms of watching this trial an

why would jeffrey epstein have wired her $30 million in total? why did this very educated, clever woman stick with this man for over a decade, in what was clearly a strange relationship? and they did not provide any answers. she was strangely absent from that courtroom, mentally. what i saw was an extraordinary judge, who headed to the second circuit after this, she went out of her way, according to my observations, to be fair to both sides. and her background coming into this trial was not one that was favourably disposed towards the government. as covid was first breaking outcome she was presiding over a trial... it ended up with not only a mistrial but with the judge investigating the southern district. i'm not sure the governor would have been delighted at getting her in this case. she went out of her way to compromise and give a bit to each side. i think an appeal, based on what i've seen, is going to be very difficult. this is bbc news. 0ur headlines... a record number of covid—19 cases are recorded in the uk — and a further 332 deaths
