This document shows the procedural mechanics of Maxwell's defense strategy in late 2020. Her legal team was filing a second bail motion under seal, seeking to keep the details of her proposed bail package confidential from the public. The motion ultimately proposed a $28.5 million bail package and an offer to renounce her foreign citizenship, but Judge Nathan denied bail, finding Maxwell remained a serious flight risk.

Who is Christian Everdell?

Christian R. Everdell is a partner at Cohen & Gresser LLP who served as trial counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell. He is a former federal prosecutor who helped prosecute Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman and was awarded the True American Hero Award for that case.

Was Maxwell granted bail?

No. Despite multiple bail attempts with increasingly generous packages, Judge Nathan denied all of Maxwell's bail requests. The court found she posed an extreme flight risk given her wealth, foreign citizenship, and the serious charges she faced. Maxwell remained incarcerated from her arrest in July 2020 through her trial and conviction in December 2021.
