“The government’s newfound claim that Ms. Holmes attempted to flee is baseless,” her attorneys said Monday.
“The government’s newfound claim that Ms. Holmes attempted to flee is baseless,” Holmes’s attorneys wrote in aIn a filing on Friday, prosecutors alleged that Holmes had made an “attempt to flee the country shortly after she was convicted” in January 2022 because they discovered she had planned the Mexico trip but not told them or the court about it.
Prosecutors also said that Holmes’s husband, Billy Evans, still went on the trip and didn’t return to the US for roughly six weeks, and did so from South Africa, not Mexico. They noted that Holmes’s passport had been taken from her at the time and that her husband made the bookings on a commercial airline, not a private jet. “None of these are markers of someone trying to make an escape,” they said.
“The government never mentioned the incident again,” Holmes’s attorneys wrote. “The government never suggested it believed Ms. Holmes was attempting to flee.”
