Barbara Burns SE From: Michael McAuliffe Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 8:31 AM To: Barbara Burns Subject: RE: Epstein I think, as you suggest, the defendant simply needs to finish his sentence as it was agreed to in the initial resolution. Thanks. MM ----- Original Message----- From: Barbara Burns Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 08:25 AM Eastern Standard Time To: Michael McAuliffe; Paul Zacks Subject: FW: Epstein This dragon just keeps raising its ugly head! May I tell him to just file his motion to modify with the Court? I don’t know how to convey to him anymore than I already have that his client is a registered sex offender that was fortunate to get the deal of the century, fortunate enough, even as a sex offender, to be granted work release while serving his jail sentences (I am not aware of that ever happening before) and certainly fortunate to plea at a time when it was not required by statute that he be placed on sex offender probation with all of the restrictive conditions that the vast majority of individuals in his similar situation would have been subjected to. Please advise. From: Jack Goldberger [mailto:jgoldberger@agwpa.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 5:03 PM To: Barbara Burns Subject: Epstein Barbara It is obvious you have spent a lot of time on my request for my client and I. sincerely appreciate the thoroughness and the attention. As my clients case seems to lend itself to misunderstandings and miscommunications by others, I thought it important to clarify some facts assumed in error. I have spoken to Mr. Gaines at probation and he confirmed the following: Yes termination of supervision on a sex offender is unusual, however a modification to probation from Community control is not uncommon when the probationer has been in compliance without violation. In fact the department’s current policy on re-entry to the community dictates that an offender be stepped down as soon as possible. He was also under the misimpression, as others might have been, that Epstein’s charges called for sex offender probation. They do not, he is eligible for normal probation. As with many of the issues in my clients case, sterile questions that may have been asked tend to lead to answers that though well meaning are not applicable. As for the timeliness of the police reports of the attempted breakins, I wanted you to be aware that I confirmed with Wackenhut that they called the police each time and spoke to the captain on duty, there should be a record. I said to you it was my advice to the client that he not file a formal report. Public Records Request No. 19-372 DOJ-OGR-00033151
