STERNHEIM 212-243-1100 * Main 917-912-9698 * Cell 888-587-4737 * Fax 225 Broadway, Suite 715 New York, NY 10007 bcsternheim@mac.com December 19, 2021 Honorable Alison J. Nathan United States District Judge United States Courthouse 40 Foley Square New York, NY 10007 Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell S2 20 Cr. 330 (AJN) Dear Judge Nathan: On behalf of our client, Ghislaine Maxwell, we respectfully submit this letter regarding the jury charge. We did not notice any errors in the Court's redline of the draft jury charge or the draft verdict sheet. We note that at the charge conference, the Court reserved decision on whether to slightly modify the language of Instruction No. 50: "Uncalled Witnesses - Equally Available to Both Sides" to take the emphasis off the word "equal." Tr. 2815:14 - 2817:16. We assume the Court has decided not to make those proposed edits. If that is incorrect, we renew our request for those edits. We have also reviewed the government's letter regarding the jury charge (Dkt. 556). We do not object to the government's proposed edit to Instruction No. 19. Very truly yours, /s/ BOBBI C. STERNHEIM cc: Counsel of record DOJ-OGR-00008438
