Ghislaine Maxwell jury calls for early Christmas break as they appear deadlocked
The Metro says The jurors in Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex-trafficking trial opted for a long Christmas break Wednesday, wrapping up without a verdict and without plans to return to court until Monday, leaving Maxwell to turn 60 behind bars.
The Manhattan federal court jury requested Thursday off, telling US District Judge Alison Nathan ‘they have made plans.’
Nathan urged the twelve jurors to stay safe during the holidays amid a Covid-19 surge in New York City.
After six hours of powerful closing arguments on Monday, and less than an hour of deliberating, the jury spent two full days discussing Maxwell’s fate.
