This document is the first page of a legal letter filed on July 16, 2019, by attorney Marc Fernich to Judge Richard M. Berman regarding the case US v. Epstein. The letter serves to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's request for bail in response to government arguments made the previous day. Fernich argues against the government's reliance on the 'rebuttable remand presumption' connected to 18 USC § 1591 charges, contending in a footnote that the statute does not cover the specific conduct at issue.
