This document is page 10 of a federal indictment against correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas. It details allegations that on the night of August 9-10 (the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death), the officers failed to perform mandatory institutional counts at 12 a.m., 3 a.m., and 5 a.m. in the Special Housing Unit (SHU).
