Daniel R. AlonsoDaniel R. Alonso was quoted on July 6, 2020 in an article in The Guardian, “What's next for Ghislaine Maxwell – and will she cooperate with prosecutors?” which explored how the case against Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice might progress and whether the perjury charge against her could affect her potential value if she were to cooperate. Alonso noted, “Clearly, the top of the pyramid in this case was Epstein, and he’s gone, so it all depends on the government’s perception on the relative value of its own mission, of prosecuting other people that they might not otherwise be able to convict without her testimony.”
Regarding the perjury issue, Alonso added: “There’s this sort of misconception that if somebody has a perjury conviction, that they’re never useful as a witness ever again. That’s not true. The question is not: ‘Did they lie the first time?’ The question is whether they’re telling the truth now.”
