This legal document details the early stages of the state's investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, beginning in 2005. It describes the evidence found by the Palm Beach Police Department (PBPD) at Epstein's home and the subsequent transfer of the case to the State Attorney's Office, led by Barry Krischer. The document highlights significant disagreements between prosecutors, like Lanna Belohlavek, and the PBPD over the strength of the evidence and the appropriate charges, as well as the defense team's efforts to undermine victim credibility and the plea negotiations that occurred.
