Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team sought to keep certain deposition documents sealed, arguing that unsealing them would compromise the integrity of the jury pool by potentially tainting prospective jurors' opinions. In response, prosecutors invoked precedent cases—specifically the trials of Charles Manson and Jimmy Hoffa—asserting these defendants nevertheless received fair trials despite intense public attention and sensational judicial proceedings
The comparison was used to underline that high-profile, widely publicized defendants do not automatically foreclose the possibility of impartial juries. Maxwell’s team maintained that the graphic and sensational nature of the deposition disclosures could unduly sway public sentiment, whereas prosecutors countered by pointing to similar circumstances in other high-profile cases where justice was upheld.
