Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document523 Filed 12/04/21 Page8sof9 photos of the defendant and Epstein with celebrities, and additional artwork depicting nude women. The Government does not currently intend to offer exhibits depicting those photographs or artwork, but it does intend to elicit testimony from the law enforcement witness that the home contained those items. That testimony is further corroboration of Jane’s general knowledge of categories of decorations Epstein preferred, but it contains no suggestion that any particular exhibit corroborates Jane’s testimony. Finally, the Government notes that the defense has not raised a Rule 403 prejudice argument, and for good reason. None of the evidence in this category is prejudicial to the defense. There will be no suggestion that the defendant or Epstein possessed these particular items during the time period of the conspiracy, and the defense is free to argue that the distance in time undermines the probative force of the evidence. But whether that probative force is significant (as the Government suggests) or minimal (as the defense suggests), the defense is not prejudiced by pictures of a massager, a stuffed tiger, or photos of structural features of Epstein’s home. I. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, photographs from the 900 series of Government Exhibits should be admitted. DOJ-OGR-00008221
