This is page 58 of a court transcript from July 24, 2019, in the case of United States v. Jeffrey Epstein (Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB). The page captures a debate between the Judge (The Court) and defense attorney Mr. Weinberg regarding the fairness of bail conditions and access to counsel. Weinberg argues that the unique complexity of the case (facing a well-resourced prosecution and 'a million pages of discovery') justifies different treatment than typical defendants at Rikers Island, while the Court counters by highlighting the serious nature of crimes faced by indigent defendants.
