Judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt to overturn conviction

A federal judge in New York rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's petition to overturn her conviction on Tuesday. Judge Paul Engelmayer described her claims as meritless or frivolous, denying the bid to set aside the conviction and grant a new trial. Maxwell, who represented herself in the habeas petition filed last December, challenged her detention in an attempt to reverse the legal outcome. The court ultimately declined the request, maintaining the original conviction against the defendant.
