Summary
This is a court transcript from a case filed on August 10, 2022, detailing a discussion about the admissibility of evidence. The court establishes that photographs found during a 2019 search are relevant because they demonstrate a relationship between Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell. The judge rules that defense arguments concerning metadata are for the jury to consider and do not prevent the evidence from being admitted, as the bars for authentication and relevance are low.

1 is central to this case. There has been witness testimony
2 about the timeframe of that relationship, that it began in the
3 early '90s. I think the defense has argued that that
4 terminated during certain time periods. But, in short, I think
5 all of Ms. Menninger's arguments are arguments that they are
6 free to make to the jury but have nothing to do with the
7 question of relevance.
8 These items have been thoroughly authenticated and to
9 the extent the defense wants to offer witnesses about their
10 metadata and make arguments to the jury about what that means
11 or what it doesn't mean, that's for the defense to put before
12 the jury. It has nothing to do with the question of
13 authentication or relevance, which are both low bars that are
14 easily cleared here.
15 THE COURT: So the authentication is these items --
16 these represent the items that were found in the home during
17 the 2019 search and the relevance is that they show the
18 relationship between Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell.
19 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. Throughout the course of
20 these photographs.
21 I would note, your Honor, with respect to the concern
22 about metadata, it happens often in criminal trials that
23 electronic evidence is seized, authenticated as such, and
24 offered before the jury. If it were the case that evidence
25 could only be admitted in court if the people who wrote the
