1 someone with more.
2 I think in the First Amendment common law it would be
3 a judicial document of importance to explain a judicial
4 decision.
5 However, there are countervailing weights, not only
6 the bail, the pretrial statute and its confidentiality but also
7 that we are facing a trial some day. And I know it's early,
8 but there's an enormous amount of publicity, and every fact
9 that is generated by this proceeding becomes the bases of an
10 enormous amount of articles.
11 It's one thing to say Mr. Epstein is wealthy. That's
12 a kind of generic. It's another thing to be chasing down
13 values and accounts. And for that reason, we ask the Court not
14 to publish it unless it's a predicate for your Honor's release
15 decision.
16 And, similarly, if the government is to give you a
17 sample of the seizures, we would make the same request, that
18 this may be evidence some day and that it's the kind of
19 evidence that would burden his future right to a fair and
20 impartial jury in the Manhattan venue.
21 Judge, unless there are other questions, I would just
22 conclude by saying that in my many years at the bar, I've read
23 many detention requests and I've heard many detention
24 arguments.
25 Mr. Rossmiller writes eloquently and speaks
