This document is a legal letter filed on January 27, 2020, by Montell Figgins, the attorney for Michael Thomas (a prison guard charged in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's death). Figgins states his intent to file a motion for dismissal based on selective prosecution and argues that the defense needs more time and access to Inspector General reports to prepare for trial, noting the government took over 90 days to investigate the incident. The letter is copied to prosecutors and counsel for the co-defendant, Noel.
