Summary
This document is an email chain between defense attorneys (Patel, Shellow, Yannella) and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY and EDNY) regarding inmate Johnny Contreras. Contreras was housed in the MCC SHU across the hall from Jeffrey Epstein at the time of Epstein's death. The attorneys arrange a 'proffer session' for September 3, 2019, at 1 St. Andrews Plaza, where Contreras acts as a witness willing to share his observations of the events surrounding Epstein's death, though he did not witness the hanging itself.
