This document is a transcript of the bail decision hearing for Jeffrey Epstein held on July 18, 2019, before Judge Richard M. Berman. The court denied Epstein's request for pretrial release and granted the government's application for continued remand, citing clear and convincing evidence of danger to the community and a preponderance of evidence regarding flight risk. The judge highlighted evidence including seized cash, diamonds, a fake Austrian passport, and testimony from victims Annie Farmer and Courtney Wild regarding their fear of the defendant.

This document is a transcript of a bail hearing for Jeffrey Epstein held on July 15, 2019, in the SDNY. The government argued for detention based on flight risk (citing wealth, foreign ties, and a fake passport found in a safe) and danger to the community, while the defense argued for release on house arrest, citing his 14-year record of appearing for court and lack of recent convictions. Two victims, Annie Farmer and Courtney Wild, spoke in court opposing bail.
031.pdf
A legal letter from attorney Marc Fernich to Judge Richard Berman defending Jeffrey Epstein regarding a foreign passport found in his possession. The defense argues the passport, which bore a non-Jewish name, was given to Epstein by a friend for protection against hijacking and was never actually used for travel. The letter asserts Epstein is solely a US citizen and requests the original document be brought to court for inspection.
024.pdf
Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing against the government's stance that Epstein's wealth creates an irrebuttable presumption for detention. The letter proposes a forensic accounting by Joel Podgor, notes that Epstein's brother Mark is willing to secure a bond with his >$100 million net worth, clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico, defends against claims regarding an expired Austrian passport, and argues that Epstein's return to the US despite media pressure proves he is not a flight risk.

Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing that the government is incorrectly using Epstein's wealth to create an irrebuttable presumption of detention. The letter highlights that Epstein's brother, Mark, is willing to pledge his >$100 million net worth to secure bond, disputes the government's characterization of an expired Austrian passport, and clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico. The defense also argues that Epstein did not flee despite intense media pressure in late 2018 and offers a forensic accounting of his finances.

Transcript of the initial appearance and arraignment of Jeffrey Epstein on July 8, 2019, in the Southern District of New York. The government argues for pretrial detention, citing extreme flight risk due to wealth/private jets and danger to the community based on evidence found in his home (photos of minors) and potential witness tampering. The defense pleads not guilty, argues the conduct is 'ancient' (2002-2005), and claims a 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement covers the conduct; a full detention hearing is scheduled for July 11.
