Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Rests Her Case After Two Days And 9 Witnesses (9/11/25)

Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense rested on December 17, 2021, after just two days of testimony. Her team called a handful of witnesses, including former model and physician Eva Andersson-Dubin, who testified that she never saw Epstein engage in sexual activity with underage girls and denied participating in a sexual encounter alleged by one accuser. As the defense concluded, Judge Alison Nathan directly asked Maxwell if she intended to testify. Maxwell declined, telling the court: “The government has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, so there is no need for me to testify.”After Maxwell’s decision, prosecutors chose not to present a rebuttal case, leaving the trial poised for closing arguments and jury deliberation. The move to rest so quickly reflected the defense’s strategy of casting doubt on accusers’ credibility rather than mounting a lengthy counter-narrative. By not taking the stand, Maxwell avoided what could have been a grueling cross-examination, leaving her fate entirely in the jury’s hands as the case entered its final phase.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
