INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Bennett L. Gershman is a law professor at Pace University Elisabeth Haub School of Law and an expert on prosecutorial ethics and misconduct. He served as a proposed expert witness for Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in United States v. Maxwell, where he was to testify on prosecutorial ethics and best practices. District Judge Alison Nathan dismissed his proposed testimony, finding that prosecutorial ethics had no relevance to the Maxwell case. Gershman has publicly commented on the Epstein case as an ethics expert, criticizing the DOJ's handling of victims' rights in connection with unsealing grand jury transcripts, and has written analyses examining questions about potential connections between Donald Trump and the Florida U.S. Attorney who negotiated Epstein's controversial plea deal. He is not a defendant, victim, or subject of criminal or civil accountability in the Epstein case, but rather a legal expert and commentator.
