Ghilane Maxwell (22)
jac_the_gripper: The bits of Maxwell's court statement that I saw reported suggest she's blaming Epstein for her own behaviour, saying he was controlling, cunning and manipulative. I also saw a headline about Maxwell volunteering to teach yoga in prison.
I wonder if this is a precursor to an appeal based upon some version of battered woman syndrome. I wonder if the yoga thing is Maxwell carving out her position in prison - is it a productive contribution to prison society, or placing herself in a position of authority? Yoga can leave people emotionally vulnerable if tension has arisen out of holding emotional distress in.
My inclination is that Maxwell is controlling, cunning and manipulative in her own right. I'm not a great lover of prison, nor long sentences, but I think her release should be conditional on her genuinely accepting her criminal responsibility and only when she no longer poses a threat to others.
I hope she won't have access to vulnerable women in prison, especially young, vulnerable women. I hope she doesn't get released at the age of 75 into a life of luxury, power and control.
I suspect she'll only no longer pose a threat to others when she's too physically frail to do so.
I'm not condoning this woman's actions in any way shape or form. I hope that she gets whats coming to her. It's just a shame that "ordinary" people that aren't in the "lime lite" have suffered and maybe still sufferingI wonder if this is a precursor to an appeal based upon some version of battered woman syndrome.
