Summary
This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) was intended to provide broad immunity to co-conspirators. It cites a Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) report where Epstein's counsel stated Epstein wanted to be the sole person to take blame. The document also notes that at the time of the agreement, the Government believed it lacked specific evidence against individuals like Ms. Maxwell, despite having interviewed accusers.

Cir 1976). The OPR⁴ (SA1-348) contains just such evidence of the negotiations between the Government and Epstein’s counsel which, in corroborating an intent on the part of the parties to draft a co-conspirator clause that provided broader immunity, accords with the plain meaning of the NPA. This is so, notwithstanding that the OPR relies almost exclusively on the distant recollection of government employees whose judgment and professionalism were being questioned with little to no input from Epstein’s attorneys as to who or what they intended or understood the co-conspirator clause of the NPA to cover. See SA166.

The line prosecutor remembered that defense counsel told her that “Epstein wanted to make sure that he’s the only one who takes the blame for what happened.” SA193.

In particular, the investigation was focused on “whether any of the [Government actors were] influenced by corruption, bias, or other improper motive…to include terms in the NPA that were favorable to Epstein.” SA166.
