MR. KUVIN: Just so we're clear with

respect to the deposition, I understand that
4
Mr. Epstein has three attorneys here today but
5
only one of them, pursuant to the Rules, is
6
going to be permitted to object to questions.
7
So I just wanted a designation as to which
8
attorney is going to be objecting to questions.
9
MR. PIKE: I will be objecting and
10
Mr. Weinberg will probably be asking questions.
11
I don't —

MR. KUVIN: I have no problem -
13
MR. PIKE: Do you have any objection with
14
that?
15
MR. KUVIN: I have absolutely no problem
16
if you want to switch it up as to who is
17
objecting and who is asking questions. That's
18
not a problem. I just don't want to get three
19
set of objections.
20
MR. PIKE: twill be the main on the

objections and Mr. Weinberg will be taking,

DIRECT EXAMINATION
11
MR. KUVIN: All right. Just as a
12
stipulation on the record so that we have it
3
all clear, what we have discussed prior to
14
starting the deposition is, is that since we're
15
discussing girls which were under the age of
16
18, minors at the time of the incidents
17
involved in this case, we're going to be using
18
their names as previously agreed to in all the
19
other depositions in the case pursuant to court
20
order.
21
The names will be used in the
22
deposition, but they will not be used in
23
the official transcript. There will be a
24
key at the end of the transcript which
25
will be sealed and confidential onl for

the eyes only of the attorneys involved in
2
this litigation.
3
Therefore, Detective Recarey should
4
feel free to discuss names with the
5
understanding that those names shall not
6
be made public outside the lawsuits that
7
are currently pending in both state and
B
federal court. But that way hopefully it
9
will avoid confusion and I just want to
10
make sure we get agreement from all
11
counsel sitting around the table that that
12
is the understanding. And if there is any
13
clarification on that issue, please let us
14
know.

we had a 911 hangup or an slant) call or any kind of

MR. PIKE: Form.
MR. KUVIN: Just so that I can have a
timeline.
MR. PIKE: Same objection.

looking at that investigative report when that trash

MR. PUCE: Form.
THE WITNESS: No, I am looking for — it

of the home?
4
MR. PIKE: Form.

of a subpoena to the Palm Beach Police
2
Department, we received a copy of e-mails that
3
existed with respect to this case and
4
Mr. Epstein.
5
What I would like to mark is what
6
we'll call Exhibit 3 I think we're up to
. 7
now. I knew I saw it. I was trying to
8
' figure out where. Hang on a second.
9
BY MR. KUVIN:

Who was that?

little bit. Can you describe for us generally what

2
Q. Okay. Can you describe for us the process
3
by which the information is generally taken down at
4
the department back in 2005, and how it makes it
5
into the incident report?
6
A. Nickie Altomaro was the detective bureau
7
secretary. As we update the incident report, you type
8
up your report. And at this time we were using a DOS
9
system.
10
Q. Okay. DOS as opposed to Windows based?
11
A. Yes.
12
Q. Gotcha.
13
A. And we would type up the report, forward it to
14
her either in Word Document or WordPerfect. She would
15
convert the document into a DOS format and input it into
16
the system.
17
Q. All right. If we turn to -- it looks like
18
these are in, somewhat in date order. If we turn to

A. Once that area is, we're confirmed that it is
8
empty, they go onto the property, remove the trash and
9
place it into the well. We then follow it to an
10
unspecified location where we actually remove the
11
contents from the well.
12
Q. All right. Let's walk through now,
13
continue turning to the date of 4/1/05 through

that you're interested in pulling your target's trash,
you fund the location, who in turn informs the driver
that you're going to be pulling the trash.

appearance?

MR. KUVIN: I am going to ask her to, ask

appearance. There are confidential issues in

this case and there are various orders that are
9
binding on various lawyers in this case.
10
Sid, this is one of the very few
11
depositions that you have actually been in
12
attendance at, and if she has not filed a
13
notice of appearance, if she has not
14
signed any pleadings in this case, I am
15
going to ask that she leave otherwise the
16
deposition is not going to go forward.
17
MR. GARCIA: On what authority?
18
MR. PIKE: She is not counsel. She has no
19
right to be here.
20
MR. GARCIA: She's assisting me with this
21
case. She appeared at your own client's
22
deposition which you did not attend.
23
MR. PIKE: That's all well and good but
24
the fact is is that she does not have a notice
25
of appearance here in this.

MR. PIKE: The fact is these are
5
confidential communications.

MR. GARCIA: Why don't you file a notice
7
of appearance and come back.

MS. FINNIGAN: Okay.

MR. GARCIA: That will resolve it.

MR. PIKE: How much longer do you have?
MR. KUVIN: I have no idea. i have no
idea
But the question that's pending that
I wanted an explanation or which you
haven't explained is how long did it take
you to execute this search warrant.
MR. PIKE: Form.
MR. KUVIN: And the form would be?
MR PIKE: How long did it take to
execute: What search warrant? When? When?
What time? Him? His officers? What
detective? I don'ticnow. Shall I go on?
MR. KUVIN: Actually, yeah, because it's
kind of comical, but I will clarify because you
don't understand.
BY MR. KUVIN:
Q. Detective Recarey, how long were you on
Mr. Epstein's property that day?
MR. PIKE: Form, predicate. You have
actually even — here, let me help you out a
bit. You have actually failed to lay the
appropriate predicate and foundation that he
was the one that executed the search warrant or
whether it was his team that executed the
Page 123
1
don't know where it's corning from. You have
2
asked several questions here about-
3
MR. KUVIN: The outstanding question is
4
MR. PIKE: Wait, wait, wait one second.
5
MR. KUVIN: — how long did the execution
6
of the warrant take.
7
MR. PIKE: I am going to answer your
8
question. You have asked several questions
9
here today that involve hearsay opinion
10
testimony from others that Detective Recarey
11
allegedly spoke to others that spoke to, for
12
instance, third parties that spoke to Detective
13
Recarey.
14
And as a result you have very serious
15
opinion and hearsay privileges that are
16
asserted here. And I really don't
17
understand the point of this deposition
18
today because none of it is admissible.
19
So, hopefully that helps you with
20
your question, and you can rephrase them
21
or, you know, just continue,
22
And while we're on that topic, let me
23
ask you this, it's 12:15 and —
