What is document EFTA00029294?

This is an October 2021 email from Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to staff at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, complaining that Maxwell had not received legal materials delivered by the government, including a hard drive needed for trial preparation.

Who is mentioned in this document?

The document mentions Ghislaine Maxwell (the defendant), Bobbi C. Sternheim (her lead attorney), and Christian Everdell (co-counsel). The recipients appear to be MDC Brooklyn staff responsible for handling inmate mail and legal materials.

What does this document reveal?

The email reveals operational issues at MDC Brooklyn during Maxwell's pretrial detention, where legal materials sent by prosecutors were delivered to the facility but not promptly provided to Maxwell. This was particularly concerning because the hard drive contained discovery materials needed to prepare her defense for the upcoming trial.

Why was the delay significant?

The delay impeded Maxwell's ability to review discovery materials from prosecutors and prepare for trial. Sternheim's threat to report the issue to the court suggests this was part of a pattern of problems accessing legal materials, potentially affecting Maxwell's constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel.
