Summary

The speaker cites Second Circuit precedents, including the Esposito case, to argue that such a condition is not discriminatory and is appropriate given that the flight risk arguments are predicated on the defendant's wealth.

1 bracelet. It's just a head start.
2 THE COURT: I was going to ask about that.
3 So there is a suggestion in the bail package that two
4 trustees would be living with him. I have not experienced
5 anything like that before, either in reality or in an
6 application.
7 Mr. Weingarten reminds me that a representative of the
8 company that has been approved by other courts for the security
9 prong is here and could speak to that condition, whether it's a
10 trustee condition or whether it's a private guard condition.
11 But I did want to make one point about the law because
12 I know your Honor knows the law better than I. Judge Bianco
13 and your Honor and maybe several other judges are on one side
14 of a debate. Judge Rakoff and maybe other judges on another.
15 I read carefully the Second Circuit decisions. There
16 are three of them. The most recent one actually is the
17 Esposito decision where the court says that a private guard in
18 that case is appropriate because he wouldn't be a flight risk
19 but for his wealth.
20 So there isn't this kind of invidious discrimination
21 between somebody who is poor and someone who is wealthy because
22 if a person is poor, even someone in Mr. Epstein's position,

24 arguments that are predicated upon his wealth.
25 So they uphold the private guard saying it doesn't
