This legal document is a page from a court filing arguing against a defendant's claim of prejudice due to the death of potential witnesses. The prosecution contends that the defendant's assertions about what these witnesses (architects and a housekeeper) would have testified are speculative and unsubstantiated. It further argues that other witnesses, such as Juan Alessi, Larry Visoski, and David Rodgers, were available and did testify about similar matters, like renovations at Epstein's residences, meaning the information was obtainable through other means.
This page from a court order (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) rejects the Defendant's (Ghislaine Maxwell) argument that she was prejudiced by the inability to call deceased witnesses, specifically two architects and a housekeeper. The court rules that this argument is speculative and unsubstantiated because other available witnesses, including Juan Alessi, Larry Visoski, and David Rodgers, testified at trial covering similar topics regarding Epstein's residences, renovations, and private aircraft.
This legal document is a portion of a court filing arguing against a defendant's claim of prejudice due to the unavailability of certain witnesses (Pinto, Salhi, Markham, and Fontanilla). The author cites multiple legal precedents, including States v. Long and United States v. Scala, to assert that the defendant's claims are speculative and lack the definite proof of actual prejudice required by law to dismiss an indictment or vacate a conviction. The document concludes that the defense's unsworn assertions about what these witnesses might have testified to are insufficient legal grounds for their motion.
