   Ghislaine Maxwell, former lover and partner-in-crime of deceased human   
   trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, plans to beg a judge to let her out of the   
   current minimum-security prison she calls home, according to a letter from   
   her lawyer. However, she tossed in a twist this time around. Maxwell plans   
   to represent herself. The delusion is strong with this one.   
      
   Can you imagine an adult woman who helped a man rape and auction off   
   underage girls thinking she deserves freedom from any consequences for her   
   actions? It staggers the mind. No universe exists where Maxwell should   
   walk the streets. Her crimes targeted children, the most vulnerable   
   citizens we have aside from the pre-born and elderly. Not to mention the   
   fact that allowing her to go free would be a miscarriage of justice. She   
   received her trial as the Constitution guarantees. She deserves nothing   
   else.   
      
   Maxwell, who was transferred to the current facility in Texas from a   
   prison in Florida earlier this year after she agreed to an interview with   
   Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, will file a habeas corpus petition,   
   her attorney, David Oscar Markus, said in a letter he addressed to a   
   federal judge.   
      
   "Understanding that President Trump has signed the Epstein Transparency   
   Act into law, Ms. Maxwell does not take a position regarding the   
   government’s request to unseal the grand jury transcripts and modify the   
   protective order," Markus stated in a letter he sent to Judge Paul   
   Englemayer on Wednesday.   
      
   "At the same time, Ms. Maxwell respectfully notes that shortly she will   
   file a habeas petition pro se," the letter continued. "Releasing the grand   
   jury materials from her case, which contain untested and unproven   
   allegations, would create undue prejudice so severe that it would   
   foreclose the possibility of a fair retrial should Ms. Maxwell’s habeas   
   petition succeed."   
      
   He gave no reason for the petition.   
      
   Legal experts say a habeas petition usually requires an extremely high   
   burden of proof, and lawyers typically use it only after other appeals   
   fail, according to Fox News.   
      
   "It appears from the filing that Ms. Maxwell is attempting to shield   
   herself from the materials that will be released pursuant to the   
   president’s order regarding the Epstein materials to protect her appellate   
   rights, specifically her anticipated habeas corpus petition," New Jersey-   
   based criminal defense lawyer James Leonard Jr. explained.   
      
   "Habeas motions typically serve as the final step in the appeals process   
   and courts seldom grant them because the burden is extremely high on the   
   defendant. It appears that Ms. Maxwell is taking that step without a   
   lawyer, which makes her attempt even more difficult," he said.   
      
   As stated previously, the victims involved in this horrendous human   
   trafficking operation deserve far better than watching someone who   
   violated them in such a vile manner walk free. The evidence against   
   Maxwell stands solid. No doubt exists about her involvement in the   
   sickening crimes that transpired. Releasing her would truly be a   
   miscarriage of justice. Not to mention that doing so would destroy the   
   career of the judge she plans to petition, a stain that no one could ever   
   scrub clean.   
      
   Sigrid McCawley, a lawyer representing one of Epstein's victims, Annie   
   Farmer, said in a separate court document that her client supports the   
   government's decision to unseal grand jury transcripts and other evidence   
   from the case. It's time to reveal the truth, the whole truth, and nothing   
   but the truth concerning Epstein and his crimes.
