Guardian: Ghislaine Maxwell finally goes on trial after 15 months on remand...

..."On Remand" appears to be Brit-speak for "in custody". That the trial is to begin
tomorrow, Monday, November 15, 2021 is indeed current news but much of the rest
of what's presented here is old news.

"Ghislaine Maxwell is to emerge from her New York prison cell on Monday after a 15-month wait for the start of a trial for sex trafficking children, perjury and the enticement of minors while she was a close associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The 59-year-old, the youngest child of the British newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell, has been held on remand in a Brooklyn detention centre since shortly after her arrest in July 2020.

During lengthy jury selection procedures, international interest will focus on two key issues: first, the likelihood that Maxwell and her lawyers will offer up details of prominent names implicated in the case, including Prince Andrew’s, and second, the alleged poor state of the defendant’s health.

Maxwell’s elder brother, Ian, a British businessman and thinktank founder, alleges his sister’s incarceration, under 24-hour surveillance in a cell measuring just 9ft by 6ft, amounts to excessive cruelty. She has slept on a concrete bed beside a toilet and has had no access to natural light."

On remand is more specific than 'in custody'. It means you are being held after Celerity Nov 2021 #3

you have been officially charged, and now you are awaiting trial, plus have been deemed in need of detention whilst waiting for said trial.

I remember seeing another image from the same 1993 Harley Davison MC event that showed the leering fellow better.

Daffyd Jones reports he took the one photo. Better version here:

I’ll never understand why someone with her resources didn’t leave the country.

No doubt she wonders the same.
