British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell says Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide last year is to blame for the conditions she faces in jail while awaiting trial.

Through her lawyers, the 58-year-old asked a judge to help improve her treatment in a Brooklyn federal lock-up, saying “uniquely onerous conditions” limit her computer access and frustrate her ability to provide for a trial scheduled for next July.
