In an effort to protect the anonymity of the alleged victims in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking trial, Judge Alison Nathan instructed the lawyers and witnesses to refer to them either solely by their first names or a made-up one.
Earlier this week, one such witness was “Jane,” and any evidence with her actual name on it was submitted under seal. The public was not told her name.
That all changed on Friday, when defense attorney Jeffery Pagliuca accidentally said a woman’s first name when referring to Jane.
Pagliuca caught his faux pas immediately but the damage had been done.
“You are admonished to abide by my rules,” Nathan said to Pagliuca, and then she called a sidebar.
Pagliuca had stated just moments before that her name had been blacked out on the documents from which he was reading….
-Ode to Quisling Ghislaine-
Oh my Madam,
Of all the women
And young teasers at your command,
And wrath of weasels,
Unable to have their one night stand.
Waiting for courts to determine
Whose sweat on whom and from whom
Steamy Ginny or the Prince.
Followed by appeal after appeal
Of all sex facts in titillating detail,
Documented by photos snapped
To reveal the reveal.
Whose sweat it was,
His or hers,
And what it’s all about.
Girls become women, boys always boys.
Ask Quisling Ghislaine
If the Prince can or cannot sweat,
She will testify he never did,
And never would with her.
It was all Ginny’s fault by default,
Rubbing off on the Prince.
So have a nice day.
-Ode to Ginny-
Oh Ginny,
I don’t sweat, you see,
And I’m the Prince
So all you said I did
Simply cannot be.
I apologized knowing Epstein,
But that’s as far as it goes,
Except will cooperate, but deny
I had sex, you know,
In fact have no memory,
Even ever meeting you,
Despite the photos snapped
Alongside you.
Again I say
I did not have sex
Because I cannot sweat
And if we did meet
It was your heat
Made my sweater sticky.
It was your steam
Rubbing off on me.
All of this is not my way, I’m picky,
So have a nice day.
