Summary
This document is an email chain from July 30-31, 2019, involving Federal Defenders (David Patton, Peggy Cross-Goldenberg) complaining to prison administration about the 'SHU attorney visiting log jam' caused by Jeffrey Epstein's legal team. The emails allege that Epstein's lawyers were allowed to 'hold' the only conference room even when Epstein was away for medical reasons (specifically regarding a fish allergy), preventing other attorneys from meeting their clients, including Cesar Sayoc. David Patton threatens to file a complaint with Judge Rakoff regarding the lack of access to Sayoc before his sentencing.
