The Heir doesn't believe Fortune magazine has any business whatsoever suggesting that Ghislaine Maxwell should get a new trial.  He came across that editorial while finding out whether a 2+2=5 judge granted Maxwell a new trial.  Maxwell already had one trial and she was convicted.  Why the Heir wonders would she need another one?  Just because of that one juror?  This the Heir believes is only happening because Maxwell still has the best defense money can buy.  If she does get another trial and she's convicted *again*, her legal team will keep picking at *that* trial for excuses to get even a *third* trial.  They want to retry her until she's acquitted, no matter what it takes.  If Fortune magazine doesn't see what the Heir sees as obvious (because this is also what happened with Cosby), it makes him wonder whether Fortune magazine is only taking Maxwell's side because she's a socialite.  How about the survivors?  The Heir would ask Fortune magazine, do you believe the survivors?  If not, then the magazine is part of the blame-the-victim epidemic.  If so they do believe the survivors, they then can't believe both the survivors *and* Maxwell without using a kabuki dance logic to try to have it both ways.  Ultimately, this is about the children and making sure that they don't end up believing that what Maxwell did was perfectly okay in the event that she walks on a technicality.  The Heir also wants Fortune magazine to also think about the children.
