This document is an excerpt from a DOJ OPR report reviewing the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically focusing on the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). It details internal confusion and justifications regarding the broad immunity given to co-conspirators, with officials claiming they did not realize it would protect high-profile associates. The text also covers negotiations on September 21, 2007, between State Attorney Krischer and federal prosecutor Villafaña regarding Epstein's sexual offender registration and jail time, including a notable email from Krischer stating he was glad the deal was worked out for 'reasons I won't put in writing.'

This legal document details a critical point in the plea negotiations for Jeffrey Epstein around September 20, 2007. It shows Epstein's defense team rejecting a federal plea agreement to pursue a "state-only" deal, primarily to avoid the federal sexual offender registration requirement.

DOJ-OGR-00031398.jpg
A 2007 Palm Beach Post editorial faxed to the State Attorney's office in 2008, criticizing the potential leniency of the judicial system toward Jeffrey Epstein. The article outlines the allegations involving underage girls, the involvement of high-profile defense attorneys like Dershowitz and Starr, and the controversial decision by State Attorney Barry Krischer to send the case to a grand jury rather than filing charges directly. It expresses concern that Epstein's wealth is buying him a favorable plea deal.
DOJ-OGR-00031397.jpg
This document is a scanned page from The Palm Beach Post dated August 25, 2006, containing Letters to the Editor. The primary letter, written by Aileen Josephs, strongly criticizes Jeffrey Epstein and his legal team (specifically naming Jack Goldberger and Alan Dershowitz) for attacking his victims' reputations. The author asserts that 'money and power does buy justice' in Palm Beach County and argues that lack of knowledge regarding a victim's age is no defense for statutory rape. The page also contains unrelated letters regarding a local church and pension legislation.
DOJ-OGR-00003315.jpg
This page from a DOJ OPR report details the controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's placement on work release following his guilty plea. It highlights the disconnect between the USAO's expectation of 'continuous confinement' and the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office's decision to allow work release, as well as the legal maneuvering by Epstein's defense team (Lefkowitz) to secure this privilege. The document establishes that while the USAO threatened to investigate if Epstein received special treatment, State Attorney Krischer confirmed Epstein's technical eligibility for the program.
DOJ-OGR-00003284.jpg
This document details the intense plea negotiations over the weekend of September 22-23, 2007, specifically focusing on the defense team's (Sanchez, Lefkowitz) attempts to avoid sex offender registration for Jeffrey Epstein.

The document also includes a footnote indicating State Attorney Krischer faced pressure from Police Chief Reiter regarding the case.
DOJ-OGR-00003281.jpg
This document, part of a legal case filed in 2021, details communications and negotiations from September 2007 concerning a potential plea deal for Mr. Epstein. It highlights discussions among various legal professionals regarding charges, sexual offender registration, and the scope of a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). A key aspect is the USAO's agreement, as part of a draft NPA, not to criminally charge Epstein's female assistants, employees of his corporate entity, and 'potential co-conspirators' in an ongoing federal investigation.
DOJ-OGR-00003267.jpg
This legal document details recollections from a meeting on September 12, 2007, concerning Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). Participants, including prosecutors like Lourie and Villafaña and others like Krischer and Belohlavek, discussed the terms of Epstein's plea, specifically whether he would serve an 18-month sentence in a county jail versus a state prison, and which charges he would plead to. The document highlights disagreements and differing memories among the participants regarding the decisions made and the authority to make them.
DOJ-OGR-00003266.jpg

It outlines the drafting of a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) proposing a 20-month jail sentence (reducible to 17 months with 'gain time') and notes a critical meeting on September 12 involving the State Attorney's Office to discuss state charges. The text also reveals internal USAO strategy, including preparing a revised indictment in case negotiations failed.
DOJ-OGR-00033220.jpg
This is a handwritten note from "Jack" (likely attorney Jack A. Goldberger) to "Barry" on the law firm's letterhead.

The note also mentions an enclosed document described as "fun reading on your Defendnt".

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019370.jpg
An FBI file containing a newspaper clipping from The Palm Beach Post dated August 4, 2006.

The article highlights comments from the State Attorney's spokesman admitting that wealth influences justice and details evidence such as school transcripts and Myspace activity.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019367.jpg
