Event Details

This document is a legal filing on behalf of a defendant, Mr. Thomas, arguing for the disclosure of evidence related to his criminal charges. The defense contends that rampant staffing shortages and mismanagement by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) forced the defendant to engage in the alleged conduct. To support this claim, the filing references an attached memorandum from a union meeting that occurred just three days before Jeffrey Epstein's death at the same facility in August 2019.
