Alessi - Direct
1 THE COURT: Well, I think -- you may move it. And I
2 will tell you whether I'm -- presuming -- I'm going to hear the
3 voir dire. You'll move it. I'll either overrule -- there will
4 be an objection. I'll either overrule the objection, sustain
5 the objection, or reserve.
6 MS. COMEY: Understood.
7 THE COURT: The other option I sort of reserve sub A
8 is conditionally admit it pending further testimony. But I may
9 not do that. I'm not sure.
10 MS. COMEY: Understood, your Honor. Thank you.
11 MR. PAGLIUCA: To the extent it matters, I would be
12 opposed to conditionally admitting the exhibit, your Honor.
13 THE COURT: I want to just get in my head the
14 question. The question I have in mind that drew the foundation
15 objection was, Mr. Alessi, based on your review of this book,
16 do you believe this is the same book that you saw when you
17 worked for Mr. Epstein or a later version after you left?
18 And he said, This was a later version of the book
19 after I left, that it was printed probably after I left.
20 And then the objection came after that, lack of
21 foundation.
22 The question was, What makes you say this is a later
23 version, Mr. Alessi, which was what I thought would elicit --
24 be responsive to the foundation objection.
25 And he said, The book is a lot thinner. Our books
2 will tell you whether I'm -- presuming -- I'm going to hear the
3 voir dire. You'll move it. I'll either overrule -- there will
4 be an objection. I'll either overrule the objection, sustain
