Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S. Australian Ave, Suite 400 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 From: Barry Krischer Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 12:03 PM To: .(USAFLS) Cc: Lanna Belohlavek Subject: RE: Meeting with Epstein's attorneys Jack contacted me this morning, his has agreed to all the terms, including pleading to the indictment, 18 months incarceration, followed by 1 year house arrest, as a condition of 5 years probation with all the conditions set out by Lanna in her letter, plus a fund for the victims as Feds require. The sticking point is requiring a plea to a registerable offense. Jack has suggested that he would stipulate as a condition of the defendant's probation that he will waive all defects and defenses and agree to register as a sex offender if at any time during the 5 year probation the State and Feds feel that he needs to be on the register. His hope is that by meeting all obligations of the plea and living close to the vest that we will be comfortable that he does not pose a threat and need not register. If we find through his conduct or computer web site visited, etc. that he is a danger we have 5 years to require him to register. I know this was not discussed while Mr. was a party to the negotiations, so I have reached out to Mr. Acosta to bring him up to speed, but have not heard back from him yet.

Our plea negotiations are not going very well, and I have given the defense a deadline of tomorrow afternoon to provide me with a signed agreement. If we cannot reach such an agreement, then I need to indict the case on Tuesday and I will not budge from that date. During my last phone call with defense counsel, he told me that they have changed their minds again, and they only want to plead to state charges, not concurrent state and federal. I said that is fine, but we will need a signed non-prosecution agreement (between the defense and us) by tomorrow afternoon, and an agreement at least verbally worked out with your office by Monday. I just think that Mr. Epstein is having second thoughts about spending time in jail and paying damages to the girls. I know you are out tomorrow, but if something comes up, I will call Claudette and e-mail you. Thanks. Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.
