This is page 11 of a legal argument filed by 'The Post' (likely the NY Post) seeking a court order to unseal appellate briefs related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex offender designation. The text argues that despite the Manhattan District Attorney's opposition, the public interest in scrutinizing how prosecutors handled Epstein's case outweighs the reasons for secrecy, provided victims' names are redacted. It cites multiple New York legal precedents supporting the media's right to petition for access to court records.
