Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated December 10, 2020. An attorney, Mr. Cohen, makes his final points to the judge, arguing against the government's reliance on the 'U.S. v. Epstein' case. Cohen contends that the Epstein case was primarily about 'dangerousness,' a legal issue not being pursued by the government in the current matter, making the precedent inapplicable.

"My point was a procedural one; that it is not the case that the government is submitting this as evidence in support of its motion, but it is certainly the case that the victims' experiences, the harms that they have been caused can be considered by the court with respect to the nature and circumstances of the offense conduct, which we submit is gravely serious."Source
— Unidentified Speaker (presumably government counsel)
(Arguing that victim statements should be considered by the court regarding the gravity of the offense, not as direct evidence for a motion.)

government submits that the statements of the victims certainly
shed light on the gravity of the offense conduct, the harm it
has caused, and how serious that conduct is. The court can and
should take that into account. My point was a procedural one;
that it is not the case that the government is submitting this
as evidence in support of its motion, but it is certainly the
case that the victims' experiences, the harms that they have
been caused can be considered by the court with respect to the
nature and circumstances of the offense conduct, which we
submit is gravely serious.

THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
MR. COHEN, very briefly, any final points?
MR. COHEN: Yes, your Honor, very briefly. I won't
get into it, but I don't think she just answered your question
about what they are doing with respect to the CVRA victims, but
I will leave that to the court.

Just very quickly, two points, your Honor.
The government says in its response now that the case
to be relied upon and distinguished is U.S. v. Epstein. They
didn't raise it in their opening memorandum or their reply or
in their oral presentation before your Honor. To the extent
your Honor considers it, and we have certainly looked at it and
the transcript of the proceeding before Judge Berman, most of
that case is about dangerousness, your Honor, which is
something the government is expressly not proceeding under here
to be relied upon and distinguished is U.S. v. Epstein. They
