Maxwell’s primary trial defense attorneys were Bobbi Sternheim, a veteran New York criminal defense attorney, and Christian Everdell, a former federal prosecutor. Additional defense counsel included Laura Menninger and Jeffrey Pagliuca, who had also represented Maxwell in earlier proceedings. The defense strategy centered on: attacking the credibility and memory of victim witnesses (partially using faulty accusations based on scientific claims about memory that were later retracted); arguing that Maxwell was being scapegoated for Epstein’s crimes; and contesting the consistency of victims’ accounts.
