This document is a court transcript from a case filed on February 24, 2022, involving an individual named Mr. Parse accused of defrauding the government. An attorney, identified as CAC3PARC, argues before a judge about the nature of a mistake made in the case and, more significantly, about the interpretation of a juror's note written by Catherine Conrad. The attorney contends that under Rule 606(b) and precedent from a Third Circuit case, the note cannot be used to infer prejudice.
This document is a court transcript from February 24, 2022, capturing an argument by an attorney, Mr. Shechtman, before a judge. Shechtman refutes the government's claim that his client, Mr. Parse, benefited from a "partisan" juror, arguing instead that the resulting split verdict was due to this juror's inability to persuade others to convict, not because her presence was advantageous to the defense.
This document is page 82 of a court transcript filed on February 24, 2022, as an exhibit (A-5925) in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330). The text captures a legal argument by Ms. Davis referencing the 'Parse' case (likely United States v. Parse) and a letter from juror Catherine Conrad. The argument focuses on the legal distinction between 'wilfully' and 'knowingly' in the context of tax evasion and conspiracy counts, and how the jury's split verdict demonstrates a lack of prejudice and a deliberate decision-making process. This appears to be a citation of precedent used during post-trial motions in the Maxwell trial.
This document is page 81 of Exhibit A-5924, filed on Feb 24, 2022, in the case USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell (1:20-cr-00330). However, the text of the transcript appears to be from a separate legal proceeding (likely a tax fraud case involving David Parse, Jenkins & Gilchrist, and Deutsche Bank) being used as a legal precedent or argument within the Maxwell trial. Ms. Davis argues to the Court that evidence shows 'Mr. Parse' had knowing criminal involvement in obstructing the IRS, distinguishing his actions from a simple mistake.
This document appears to be a transcript of a legal argument asserting that a jury had sufficient evidence to infer an individual's knowledge of a scheme to defraud the IRS. The argument cites testimony from multiple individuals, including Sandra Burnside and Carrie Yackee, describing an 'avalanche of work' in December to finalize tax shelter transactions, implicating Mr. Parse and Ms. Yackee at Deutsche Bank. The speaker refutes a suggestion from Mr. Shechtman's brief that Deutsche Bank's approval of the transactions meant that only a few people knew the full extent of the scheme.
This document is a page from a court transcript (Exhibit A-5922 within Case 1:20-cr-00330, likely the Ghislaine Maxwell case) containing a legal argument. The text discusses a tax fraud case involving David Parse, Carrie Yackee, Jenkins & Gilchrist, and Deutsche Bank, focusing on whether Parse knew transactions were made solely for tax losses rather than investment purposes. This appears to be a citation of case law (likely U.S. v. Daugerdas) used as a precedent within the broader filing, rather than a direct record of Epstein's activities.
This document is an excerpt from a court transcript, filed on February 24, 2022, detailing arguments made by MS. DAVIS regarding defendant Mr. Parse. MS.

This document is a legal transcript where a speaker argues that the law firm Brune & Richard made a deliberate, strategic choice not to inform the court about a potential issue with a juror. The speaker contends that on May 12, after an investigation concerning Theresa Trzskoma, the lawyers, including Susan Brune, consciously decided against taking action, which the speaker believes cannot form the basis for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel for their client, Mr. Parse.
This document is a court transcript where an attorney argues that the opposing defense counsel provided ineffective assistance. The attorney claims the defense knew about a potentially disqualifying issue concerning the 'Brune & Richard law firm' before jury selection but deliberately withheld this information from the court. This action is characterized as an impermissible 'heads-we-win-tails-you-lose' strategy, which the speaker contends is sufficient grounds to defeat a finding of ineffective counsel.
This document is page 15 (marked A-5917) of a court transcript from Case 1:20-cr-00330 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on February 24, 2022. Defense attorney Mr. Shechtman argues that there was no proof the defendant knew specific transactions were wrong and claims a 'government partisan' juror was biased against the defendant, citing Justice Marshall's dissent in *Strickland* regarding harmless error. The Judge then invites prosecutor Ms. Davis to respond.
This document is a court transcript in which an unnamed speaker recounts a mistaken stock transaction from December 28th of 'year one'. The speaker's broker accidentally sent 10,000 Philip Morris shares to a charity and 10,000 IBM shares to the speaker's daughter, the reverse of the instructions. The error was discovered on January 2nd when the charity rejected the tobacco stock, and the broker subsequently corrected the transaction, backdating it to the original date.
This document is a page from a court transcript, likely from a defense attorney's argument. The speaker challenges the government's assertion that an individual 'must have known' about illegal backdated financial transactions simply because he had worked as a junior accountant in the 1980s. The attorney argues this claim of 'mens rea' (guilty knowledge) is not supported by evidence and is not a strong argument according to Second Circuit precedent.
This document is page 71 of 117 from a court filing (Exhibit A-5914) in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on Feb 24, 2022. The content is a transcript from a different legal proceeding (likely a tax fraud case involving Deutsche Bank) where attorney Mr. Shechtman argues about 'ineffective assistance' and 'prejudice,' comparing the situations of a Mr. Parse and Mr. Brubaker. The text discusses bank records, backdating allegations, and the cross-examination of a government cooperator by the Kramer Levin firm.
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) filed on February 24, 2022. An attorney is arguing before the judge regarding the conduct of the 'Brune firm,' suggesting they 'dropped the ball' regarding a revelation about someone with the 'same name' rather than engaging in a deliberate strategy. The speaker notes that this error might result in a 'very long trial' having to be done again, implying a discussion about a mistrial or retrial motion.
This document is a court transcript from a case filed on February 24, 2022. It captures a conversation between the judge ('THE COURT') and a lawyer ('MR. SHECHTMAN') about the government's failure to disclose information in a timely manner and making misleading statements in a memorandum. Mr. Shechtman concedes the point and states his intention to submit the documents in question for the judge's private 'in camera' review, viewing it as an inevitable step to resolve the issue of privilege.
