This document is an 'Access to Justice' email newsletter from Law360 dated April 20, 2020. It aggregates various legal news stories, primarily focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the justice system, including court closures, remote hearings, and bankruptcy issues. It is relevant to the Epstein files because it contains a summary of a recent Eleventh Circuit ruling that the Crime Victims' Rights Act protections do not arise until after a formal criminal charge is filed, which is described as a blow to Epstein's victims.
This document discusses legal principles of contract interpretation in the context of plea agreements, citing several court cases. It argues that ordinary contract principles should apply to plea agreements, with a strong emphasis on fairness to the defendant and construing ambiguity against the government, and suggests that the cases of Annabi and Maxwell should be reversed based on these principles.
This document is a page from a court order rejecting Ghislaine Maxwell's argument that Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) protects her from prosecution in the Southern District of New York. Citing the Second Circuit precedent *United States v. Annabi*, the court maintains that plea agreements generally only bind the specific district where they are entered. The court dismisses Maxwell's renewed motion and supplemental authority, affirming that the SDNY is not bound by the agreement made in another district.
This document is page 2 of a legal filing addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan, dated July 2, 2021. The defense argues that Ghislaine Maxwell's indictment should be dismissed by citing the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to vacate Bill Cosby's conviction due to a violation of a non-prosecution promise. The defense asserts that the government is similarly reneging on a formal Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) with Maxwell from over 25 years prior, violating fundamental fairness and due process.
This document is a page from a 2007 Utah Law Review article found in the files of attorney David Schoen (produced for House Oversight). The text analyzes legal procedures regarding 'ex parte' subpoenas, specifically criticizing proposals that would allow defense attorneys to subpoena victim records without notice, using the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping case and Pennsylvania rape counselor statutes as examples of how third parties handle confidential victim information. It argues that current or proposed rules regarding the protection of defense 'strategy' are haphazard and often detrimental to victim privacy.
