Event Details

The United States Government filed this Memorandum of Law in opposition to defendant Michael Thomas's motion to compel additional discovery in the case regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The government argues that it has already provided substantial discovery (video surveillance, logs, witness statements) and that Thomas's requests for Inspector General reports and internal BOP disciplinary records of other employees are irrelevant, privileged, or intended for an improper 'jury nullification' defense regarding staffing shortages. The government asserts that Thomas has failed to provide evidence for a selective prosecution claim.
