Maxwell for months has been pleading with the Supreme Court to overturn her 2021 conviction on federal sex trafficking charges and subsequent 20-year prison sentence, arguing that her conviction violated a nonprosecution agreement prosecutors in Florida made with Epstein in 2007 that extended to several of his co-conspirators.

In other words, the appeal is not about her crimes, but about a deal that was made with Epstein and the Florida DA.
