Maxwell's Silver Hammer (PART II): Transfer to Minimum Camp & Sentencing Post Mortem


Listen Later

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.
