The United States Supreme Court must listen to the appeal of Ghislaine Maxwell of his sentence for sexual trafficking of 2021 because the government has an “obligation to honor” a non -prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein that inoculated Maxwell of any criminal office, His lawyers discussed in a brief To the Supreme Court on Monday.
“The plea agreements and no prosecution resolve almost all federal cases. Routinely include promises that extend to others: conspirators, family members, potential witnesses. If those promises mean different things in different parts of the country, then confidence in our collapse system,” the report said.
Federal prosecutors have argued that the non -pressure agreement was applied only in Florida and did not join New York, where the charges were filed against him, and later Maxwell.
Maxwell’s lawyers argued that the terms of NPA Epstein signed were not qualified.
“It is not geographically limited to the southern district of Florida, it is not conditioned that the Government be known by the Government at that time, does not depend on what no particular government lawyer may have had in their head on who could be a co-conspirador, and does not contain another warning or exception. This should be the end of the discussion,” said the defense report.

The Department of Justice has urged the Supreme Court to reject Maxwell’s request even when the attached attorney Todd Blanche agreed to meet Maxwell last week.
Prosecutors have argued that Maxwell cannot enforce the NPA because it was not part of it. The defense did not agree.
“The alleged status of the petitioner as Epstein co-conspirator was the total base of its prosecution,” said the defense report.
“Nobody is above the law, even in the Southern New York district. Our government reached an agreement, and must honor it. The United States cannot promise immunity with one hand in Florida and prosecute the other in New York. President Trump built his legacy in the power of an agreement, and surely agrees that when the United States gives his word, he must be what we appeal not only to the Supreme Court, but also Supreme, but to the Deep Court of the Supreme Court, but that the president according to the president of the Deep Court to the Court of Deep.
