Event Details

This legal document, filed on December 9, 2021, addresses the authentication and admissibility of Government Exhibit 52, described as a 'book' or 'household manual' belonging to Epstein and Maxwell. It discusses the defendant's challenge to Alessi's knowledge regarding the exhibit's origins and highlights the manual's contents, which detail practices and relationships between the defendant, Epstein, and other individuals. The document asserts that authentication does not require direct knowledge of creation or seizure, and chain of custody issues pertain to weight rather than admissibility.
