Summary
This legal document excerpt details the defense's arguments on behalf of Ms. Maxwell regarding her treatment at MDC Brooklyn. The defense claims the government and court are unfairly handling evidence, specifically a videotape of an incident that would allegedly disprove statements made by MDC staff. The document also highlights the defense's frustration with the court's dismissal of their complaints about jail conditions, such as guards flashing a light in Ms. Maxwell's cell every 15 minutes.
