" The government has not proven the case beyond a Reasonable Doubt and So There is no need for me to testify, " She Said .
Her lawyers alleged that her accusers had fallen prey to " [lapses in] memory, manipulation and money" and sought to identify discrepancies between their accounts of abuse and official records.
They called nine witnesses over Two Days of testimony last week, including a cognitive psychologist who testified that people may reconstruct " false memories" of traumatic events.
Earlier this month, prosecutors called two dozen witnesses over 10 days as they built a narrative of Ms Maxwell as a predator who built a " pyramid scheme of abuse" with Epstein.
