Summary
This is page 61 of a court transcript from the Jeffrey Epstein case (1:19-cr-00490-RMB), filed on July 24, 2019. Prosecutor Rossmiller argues before the Court that pre-trial detention does not prevent a defendant from preparing a robust defense, citing the 'Zarrab' case as a precedent where a detained defendant had ample access to counsel and document review. The prosecution expresses willingness to consider factors like space and document review capabilities for the defendant.

1 5:00. That's no problem.
2 THE COURT: Fair enough.
3 MR. ROSSMILLER: I can't say whether we will, but
4 we'll certainly re-examine the record.
5 THE COURT: So you'll look at the record, so to speak,
6 and what we discussed here today and see where there could be
7 some more strength in terms of evidence.
8 MR. ROSSMILLER: Yes, your Honor.
9 Just very briefly to respond, and I'll try to go sort
10 of lightning round through some of these.
11 Starting at the very beginning with this issue of
12 being able to prepare a case having access to counsel, the idea
13 that detention impairs the ability to prepare a defense -- this
14 is certainly a challenging case. It's a significant case.
15 This Court has significant experience with precisely
16 that type of case with a detained defendant in Zarrab. In that
17 case, I think the Court saw -- and the country and the world
18 saw -- that it is eminently possible for a defendant to have
19 excellent, excellent counsel and every opportunity to consult
20 with that counsel while detained and while detained here.
21 I'm not specifically familiar with the conditions of
22 Mr. Zarrab's detention, but my general understanding is that
23 there were concessions made with respect to his ability to
24 review documents and have space.
25 Those are certainly factors that we're willing to be
