Summary
This document is a page from the court transcript of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), dated August 10, 2022. Prosecutors and defense attorneys argue over the admissibility of questions regarding a witness's ('Jane') settlement negotiations, with the defense arguing it proves bias and the prosecution objecting under Rule 408. The Judge intercedes by citing *Manko v. United States*, suggesting that the civil settlement exclusion rule (Rule 408) may not apply in criminal prosecutions.

1 thus, it's offered about her particular bias --
2 THE COURT: Well, you heard the question.
3 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
4 THE COURT: Do you object to the question?
5 MS. MOE: We do object to the question. If the
6 question is, Did you seek an increased amount in the settlement
7 award, I have no objection to that. If the question is, Isn't
8 it true your attorney made the following statement, that
9 question is objectionable.
10 THE COURT: Under 408.
11 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
12 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, it goes to bias, her
13 motive to testify in this case, and her bias against my client.
14 THE COURT: Let's start with a more basic issue which
15 no one has briefed, but Manko v. United States, are you
16 familiar?
17 MS. MOE: I'm not, your Honor.
18 THE COURT: 87 F.3d 50 (2d Cir. 1996).
19 I'll quote: "the policy that underlies Rule 408 does
20 not apply to criminal prosecutions. The policy favoring the
21 encouragement of civil settlements sufficient to bar their
22 admission in civil actions is insufficient, in our view, to
23 outweigh the need for accurate determinations in criminal cases
24 where the stakes are higher."
25 Is that good law?
