Farmer - direct Thank you. QO. What did Maxwell sound like? A. She had a British accent and she was well-spoken and articulate. And she was enthusiastic in greeting me and speaking with me. Q. Annie, had you wanted to go to New Mexico at the time? A. No, I was not eager to go to New Mexico. Q. What, if anything, made you feel more comfortable about going to New Mexico? MS. MENNINGER: Objection. Hearsay, your Honor. THE COURT: I'm going to overrule here and I'll adopt a limiting instruction. MS. POMERANTZ: Thank you, your Honor. A. I had been told that Maxwell would be in New Mexico with Epstein; and so that made me feel more comfortable. Basically, after what had happened in the movie theater in New York, I did not want to be alone with him. But thought that Ghislaine was his romantic partner, and I didn't think he would do anything like that while they were together. MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, I think we need to say who told her that. THE COURT: Okay. You may ask and then I'll give the instruction. Q. Who told you that? A. I was told by my mother. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00013640
