From: (USAFLS)" To: SAFLS SAFI, (USAFLS)" SAFLS)" Cc: =r> FBI)" Subject: Draft e-mail to Roy Black re Epstein Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:09:34 +0000 Importance: Normal Hi everyone: I would like to send the following out to Roy and Jay later today: Dear Roy and Jay: I wanted to raise two issues with you regarding the Epstein case. First, it has come to my attention that Mr. Epstein is again trying to obtain work release, contrary to the terms and spirit of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. This also directly contradicts the conversation I had with Jack Goldberger the weekend before Mr. Epstein's guilty plea, wherein Jack confirmed that Mr. Epstein would be in custody and would not seek work release during the 18-month term of incarceration. Please advise whether Mr. Epstein is, indeed, requesting work release. Second, Stuart Mermelstein of Herman & Mermelstein P.A. has filed an Ethics Complaint with the Florida Bar asserting that the letters to the victims advising them of their rights under the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement violate a series of Florida Bar Rules. In the context of my response to that Complaint, I anticipate that the Ethics Counsel will need to review the entire Agreement. If you have any objection to that disclosure, please let me know so that I may communicate that to the Ethics Counsel. Please provide answers as promptly as possible. Thank you for your assistance.
