Summary
This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, detailing a legal argument over the admissibility of evidence. An attorney, Ms. Comey, contends that a 40-minute walk-through video (Gov. Exhibit 296) is relevant because it shows a previously excluded photograph (Gov. Exhibit 270) prominently displayed outside a master bedroom shared by the defendant and Mr. Epstein. The defense expresses concern that such evidence would be prejudicial to the jury.

1 involved in anything with prepubescent females. This is, I
2 believe, the same girl as the toddler photo. It's his
3 goddaughter. But if the jury sees a photo like this, they may
4 draw some inappropriate assumptions about his proclivities, and
5 we think this should be excluded on relevance and 403 ground
6 prejudice.
7 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think it would make sense to
8 take this up with another exhibit from the same witness because
9 our arguments are the same as to both.
10 With respect to Government Exhibit 296, which is the
11 walk-through video, it's about a 40-minute video, I don't
12 expect to play all of it for the jury, but in the walk-through,
13 you can see that when walking from the top of the staircase on
14 the second floor through the anteroom into the master bedroom,
15 that prominently displayed is the photograph displayed in
16 Government Exhibit 270, which your Honor excluded. It is
17 briefly shown on the screen, but in context, it's clear that it
18 is the primary decoration right outside of the master bedroom
19 that the defendant shared with Mr. Epstein. So, I would like
20 to take that exhibit up at the same time because I think the
21 arguments are the same.
22 MR. EVERDELL: That's fine, your Honor. I can address
23 that.
24 THE COURT: Okay.
25 MR. EVERDELL: So as Ms. Comey said, when we do the
