Summary

This document is a transcript from a court hearing (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB) filed on July 16, 2019. Attorney Mr. Weingarten argues before the Court that the Florida nonprosecution agreement should stand, asserting that a plea deal cannot be undone simply because prosecutors failed to notify victims, provided the defendant fulfilled their obligations (prison time, restitution, registration). Weingarten emphasizes that voiding such deals would make it impossible for defense attorneys to negotiate future agreements.

1 the negotiation with the Southern District included
2 negotiations with main justice. What's also true is the
3 investigation extended into the Southern District of New York
4 and elsewhere in terms of girls being interviewed.
5 So obviously your question is relevant and will be
6 part of the pretrial litigation for sure. But what matters
7 here and for now is there certainly was a belief that there was
8 a global solution based upon the facts on the ground.
9 THE COURT: Have you seen the Florida nonprosecution
10 agreement?
11 MR. WEINGARTEN: Yes.
12 THE COURT: And --
13 MR. WEINGARTEN: I don't have it before me. I don't
14 want to make a specific representation and not be completely
15 accurate.
16 THE COURT: Okay. All right. Go ahead.
17 MR. WEINGARTEN: The consequences of this are huge in
18 that if in fact there is a negotiation with a defendant, the
19 defendant does his time, the defendant pays his victim, and the
20 defendant spends ten years on the registration list and
21 prosecutors don't adequately notify the victims, how in the
22 world can that deal be undone? Every prosecutor in the world
23 has to oppose that possibility. No defense attorney in their
24 right mind would negotiate a deal with that potential
25 consequence.
