Summary
Page 12 of a legal filing opposing Jeffrey Epstein's Motion for Summary Judgment in a civil case (Case No. 502009CA040800XXXXMBAG). The document argues that Epstein cannot rely on public filings he knows to be untrue while simultaneously invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to refuse answering questions about criminal activity. The filing asserts that his refusal to testify creates 'adverse inferences' that should preclude him from winning a summary judgment or prosecuting an abuse of process claim against Edwards.
