The 5 ex-boyfriends, Matt, Dave, Shawn, they must be lying. Juan 6 Alessi must be lying. That's simply nonsensical for the 7 ex-boyfriends. Matt, Dave, and Shawn have nothing to gain from 8 testifying here. They have no reason whatsoever to lie. No 9 motive. Why would they come here and lie to you? 10 The same goes for Juan Alessi. The defense spent a 11 lot of time trying to dirty Alessi up. You know why they did 12 that? It's because his testimony is incredibly powerful 13 evidence that backs up so much of what these other witnesses 14 say. But their arguments about him are really just silly. 15 They spent time talking about the money and the gun. 16 Remember, Mr. Alessi told you himself he stole money 17 from Jeffrey Epstein and he paid it back. Some police report 18 says that he was also looking for a gun. So what? Does that 19 mean that he would make up an entire story about the defendant? 20 No. And you Know he told you the truth because he was al corroborated by other evidenc Flight records confirmed that 22 Jane and Virginia flew on Epstein's planes when they wer 23 minors, just like he told you. The pilots confirmed that Juan 24 Alessi drove passengers up to the tarmac, just like he told 25 you. The household manual showed you in black and white that SOUTHERN D STR CT REPORTERS, P.C.
