Subject: RE: Confidential Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 21:08:12 +0000 Importance: Normal Thanks so much!!! Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 4:20 PM Subject: Confidential Here is the relevant portion of the last letter to JE's attorneys regarding the termination of supervision: In light of Mr. Acosta's prior statements to Mr. Epstein's counsel that Mr. Epstein would be eligible for any benefit available to other similarly-situated state defendants, the Office agrees that Mr. Epstein may apply for early termination or modification of community control in accordance with Fl. Stat. §§ 948.05 and 948.10(4), assuming that Mr. Epstein has completed "the sanctions imposed in the community control plan." The Office takes no position regarding such an application; it is entirely within the discretion of the State Attorney's Office and the Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge as to whether it is in "the best interests of justice and the welfare of society" to allow Mr. Epstein to terminate prematurely his community control. Mr. Epstein and his counsel may not make a representation to the State Attorney's Office, the Court, or any victim that the U.S. Attorney's Office agrees with, joins in, or does not oppose such a motion. In light of prior erroneous statements in court filings, we respectfully request that a copy of any court filing be provided to our office. If such a motion is made, in accordance with your proposal, the U.S. Attorney's Office will notify the federal victims that the application was filed and, if a hearing is scheduled, the date, time, and location of such hearing. The communication will consist merely of a notification and will neither encourage nor discourage attendance or submission of materials related to the application. D Please note: Florida has a very broad public records law. Most written communications to or from state officials regarding state business are public records available to the public and media upon request Your e-mail communications may therefore be subject to public disclosure.
