Attorneys often play it safe, and play it too safe.  Ghislaine Maxwell's defense was a "standard" old textbook play, which basically argued the witnesses were all lying.  In order to properly defend someone, or give them a fighting chance, you need to do two things effectively, First, Tell a Story; Second, The Defendant's voice is often a necessity where they are the only party that can dispute the mountain of evidence.  In this segment we explore the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend, the defense, and what went horribly wrong.
