McCarter partner and former federal prosecutor Robert Mintz discusses convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal to the Supreme Court.
During his interview, Robert details the broad non-prosecution agreement that Jeffrey Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in Miami in 2007, which Ghislaine Maxwell argues should have barred her prosecution in New York. He also discusses how unusual it is to have a non-prosecution agreement made by one US attorney bind other US attorneys in different districts.
Other topics covered in the interview include the Justice Department opposing Maxwell’s petition, the likelihood of the Supreme Court to take this kind of appeals, and issues involving the potential unsealing of grand jury transcripts in both the Epstein and Maxwell cases.
