"You should not infer from this photo that Mr. Epstein had a sexual attraction to minors as young as the girl depicted in this photo. You also may not consider this evidence as any kind of reflection on Ms. Maxwell's character or propensity to commit any of the crimes charged in the indictment. However, to the extent you conclude that the evidence is relevant to the issues before you, you can consider it."Source
"And the defense's request is not to give it because you don't want to highlight the photo that otherwise might be just in passing and so, rather, your request is not to give the instruction?"Source
"That's correct, your Honor."Source
"Your Honor, I just wanted to note that, after conferring, the parties have agreed to offer a redacted version of Government Exhibit 296, which is the video."Source
