Ghislaine Maxwell jury turns down option to deliberate for one more day before Christmas
Ghislaine Maxwell will spend Christmas Day - and her 60th birthday - in a 10x12ft prison cell in New York as she awaits a verdict in her sex trafficking case. Jurors broke for the holiday after failing to reach a verdict on Wednesday and turning down an offer to work another day.
When given the option by Judge Alison Nathan to deliberate on Thursday the jury replied in a note saying no because they had 'made plans'. The decision meant Maxwell ring in the holiday again behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Judge Alison Nathan urged the jury to be 'safe' over the break due to the spike in Omicron cases in New York City
