Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's partner who was convicted of sex trafficking offenses, has petitioned the court to overturn or modify her conviction, and consequently the 20-year prison sentence. ABC News reported this development, noting that the move could complicate the legally mandated release of documents from Epstein's files. Maxwell has exhausted her direct appeal options but nevertheless filed the request claiming "newly discovered and significant evidence" has emerged indicating she did not receive a fair trial, according to documents submitted to the New York court.
