Ghislaine Maxwell has asked a federal judge to overturn her sex trafficking conviction and release her from her 20-year prison sentence. She filed a habeas petition on Wednesday, claiming that “substantial new evidence” shows constitutional violations ruined her 2021 trial.
According to AP News, Maxwell argues that important information proving her innocence was kept from the jury. She also claims witnesses gave false testimony during the trial. She claims these problems combined to create a “complete miscarriage of justice.”
