Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB) filed on September 3, 2019. Epstein's defense counsel argues to the judge that Epstein's suicide on August 10 was 'implausible' given the pending legal motions scheduled for August 12, including a bail appeal and document production requests. The counsel also asserts that the initial autopsy findings on August 11 were inconclusive and reiterates the defense stance that the New York prosecution violated the Florida Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA).

1 reasons, your Honor.
2 One is the timing of Mr. Epstein's demise. It was on
3 August 10. On August 12, a bail pending appeal motion was

11 Southern District.
12 In other words, we were beginning the process
13 discharging our responsibilities. There had been no new
14 evidence that Mr. Epstein had committed any offense against a
15 minor after 2005. The subject matter of the New York
16 prosecution was squarely within the heartland of the Florida
