Summary
This document is a transcript of a legal summation by Ms. Menninger, likely for a defense team. Menninger argues that the witness, Juan Alessi, is not credible by pointing out that he reported directly to Epstein, not Ghislaine, and by citing an email between Ghislaine and Sally Markham where Alessi's work was called 'truly awful'. She further undermines his credibility by discussing his inconsistent testimony regarding a household manual and a black address book.

Mr. Alessi worked for Epstein for many years and testified that Epstein was his direct supervisor.
The document suggests a strained supervisory relationship. Alessi would go directly to Epstein, not Ghislaine. An email between Ghislaine and Sally Markham indicates Ghislaine's dissatisfaction with Alessi's work, stating they 'weren't getting along'.
They participated in an email exchange (Government Exhibit 424) discussing the job performance of an employee, Mr. Alessi.

10 Mr. Alessi worked for Epstein for many years. But you
11 can tell from the one email exchange, Government Exhibit 424,
12 between Ghislaine and Sally Markham that Mr. Alessi was not
13 doing a very good job. In fact, I think she called it a truly
14 awful job. So we know the two of them weren't getting along.
15 But does being a tough boss make you an enforcer of a
16 code of silence? Mr. Alessi is simply not credible. He said
17 he didn't follow the household manual, which is dated years
18 later. He threw it away. Not one employee told you they
19 followed this household manual.
20 He's also the one that the government tried to get in
21 this little black address book from, right? He's the one. He
22 said he recognized it; it looked like the one he had seen. He
23 has no idea what year it's from. He doesn't know how accurate
24 it is; that people get added every year and taken away every
25 year. So somehow in 2021, a black address book shows up on the
