Summary
This document is an email chain from August 2019 between attorneys Andrew Patel and Jill Shellow, and US Attorneys (SDNY and EDNY), regarding inmate Johnny Contreras. Contreras was housed in the SHU at the MCC across the hall from Jeffrey Epstein at the time of Epstein's death. While Contreras did not witness the hanging, his lawyers offered his testimony regarding his 'observations,' leading to the scheduling of a proffer session with investigators.
