Like Epstein cases which had its’ oldest case of 30 years old, it is extremely difficult to verify the cases that happened many years ago. The most important one would be contemporaneous evidence which was made near the time of event. Such evidence can include emails, letters, diaries, official records. It is also preferential if this evidence can show the incident in chronological order. Many of Epstein victims got hold of message or email exchanged with either Epstein or Maxwell. Some victims brought the photos and others submitted clothes and accessories bought by criminals as part of the compensation. Then there come with witness testimony. Accuracy and consistency matter with these testimonies because oral accounts for old cases are sometimes accused of its bias and exaggeration which can corroborate other evidence. Epstein and Maxwell attorneys challenged the oral evidence as if it has been overly exaggerated by trauma and memory lapse.
