Summary

A legal letter from defense attorney Gerald Lefcourt to prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek dated June 5, 2006. The letter argues that the State's case against the client (implied Jeffrey Epstein) has weakened due to severe credibility issues with three key witnesses, citing theft, drug use, and fraud. Lefcourt emphasizes that his client has passed a lie detector test and provided favorable psycho-sexual evaluations.

III. Since the Meeting on February 16, 2006 When Misdemeanor Charges Were Initially Discussed, the State's Case has Gotten Considerably Weaker
At the February 16, 2006 meeting, you suggested the Office was investigating a felony and you indicated you would consider pleading it down to a misdemeanor. As you are aware, since then much has happened which makes the alleged case considerably weaker and undermines the credibility of the witnesses upon which it was based. Indeed as you already know the following information has come to light severely damaging the reliability of the witnesses: (i) [REDACTED] background, including a history of theft, confessions and repeated denials of stealing from employers and customers, lying about her age, sexual promiscuity, and prostitution; (ii) [REDACTED] boastful admission of drug use, underage drinking, sexual activity, shoplifting, wild exaggeration of her income (at least $250,000), representing herself naked on a website and as 17 years old, then 16, then 15, only changing it to her truthful age, coincidentally four days before the last scheduled grand jury. In addition, as you have acknowledged, she was found in an inappropriate place in Georgia after the police were called when she ran away from home. This is separate and apart from the Florida police report presented to you, detailing her being dropped off by the local drug dealer at 5:45 a.m., only two days after returning to West Palm Beach, and being described by the officer as clearly on drugs; and (iii) both of Saige’s parents’ criminal history of fraud.
In stark contrast to this is the fact that, as we indicated at the meeting, the client has passed both a rigorous lie detector test, conducted by the most highly qualified expert we could find, one whose reputation is beyond reproach, and provided you copies of two psycho-sexual evaluations prepared by experts that you have agreed are well-recognized and accepted by the State.
