this is finally their day of reckoning for the most part following jeffrey epstein. ste. yeah. more than 2 years ago was the inner city said they all come out and you did. you saw our video video, but one question i have the main person who accused prince andrew is actually not going to be a part of this case. does that trouble you or why not? well that's, that was the prosecution's decision not to have the virginia roberts afraid testify for them. she certainly has probably is the most well known user of jeffrey epstein and william maxwell. she has, of course, said in civil cases against them that she was recruited, turned into a sex slave when she was 16 years old. that she was used over the course of a few years by geoffrey epstein to basically she was put out to his wealthy friends including prince andrew. there's a civil case that is presently going on between her and prince andrew. the reason why the prosecutors are not using her, however, as one of the 4 women that they're bringing forward is because there had been some consistencies. and some of the statements that she'

it sounds like there's a max on jeffrey. i've seen who the real person on trial here, but doesn't matter actually who the judges as we've seen and passed, cases that we do get to view lot of being said that the us district judge alison nathan very well accomplished, but she was appointed $20011.00 by president brock obama, prior to that served associate white house council and special assistance to president obama. seeing this is a case which involves politicians. i'll sort of mentioned that maureen comi james coleman's daughter is the lead prosecutor. in this case. do you think it would be better to move, to assign a judge that has a little or no political ties? or does that not exist in federal court anymore, especially in this district? well, particularly in this case, she has been on this particular case from the beginning. she understands this case in terms of the judge here from the very beginning. i think it would have been the wrong decision to move it in the hands of another judge. i think that maxwell will get a fa

and that she was used as a pawn by jeffrey epstein. now the jury will have to go through several major questions in the case. and one of the things that we're waiting to see if it's going to happen in it's trials. if maxwell herself will testify in her defense also will prosecutors pull evidence or uses evidence the quote unquote little black book that both. 5 deal and match well and jeffrey epstein had listing the names, the numbers, the contacts of jeffrey epstein and given maxwell, now the judge and the case. allison nathan is a very prominent. she's very well respected federal judge. she's overseen other high profile cases, and she was just actually nominated by president biden to serve on the 2nd court. second circuit court of appeals, which is essentially one step from the u. s. supreme court. she's already ruled against maxwell several times, and maxwell's pleased to be released on bail siding with prosecutors who contend that she is a possible flight risk. now the trial is expected to last at least 6 weeks, basically stretching
