4 I also reject the repeated allegations that
5 Ms. Maxwell, who was provided extensive access to computers and
6 legal materials, as well as to highly involved counsel, was in

9 consistent with a lack of candor to Pretrial Services and to
10 the Court regarding finances, as well as the dishonesty that I
11 have concluded occurred during the civil deposition that makes
12 up the perjury counts. Overall, the behavior appears
13 consistent with a pattern of deflection of blame.
14 I will note that I was -- I would emphasize that the
15 sentencing submission talks about these complaints and blames
16 others but did not express remorse or acceptance of
17 responsibility. Ms. Sternheim and Ms. Maxwell today
18 acknowledge the courage of the victims who testified and who
19 spoke, talked about the pain and anguish that they have
20 expressed, to some extent acknowledged the impact on them and
21 their suffering, and I think that is important for the victims
22 to hear. What there wasn't expressed was acceptance of
23 responsibility. Now let me be clear. Ms. Maxwell is fully
