Ghislaine Maxwell appears relaxed in pre-trial court appearance

New York court considers jury selection arrangements for trial of British socialite on sex trafficking charges linked to Jeffrey Epstein

Less than 24 hours before Ghislaine Maxwell will be in a courtroom with prospective jurors who will decide her fate in a Manhattan federal court sex trafficking case, the former British socialite appeared notably at ease during a proceeding on Monday morning.

One woman, who identified herself as a family member to a court security officer, waved at Maxwell shortly before proceedings started. She carried a yellow legal pad and scribbled notes throughout the proceeding.
