You can expect a call from him shortly. I understand the deft. gets 3 days a month gain time plus 3 additional days a month if he works. So I think that would work out to 15 months actual time served. He would then be on the bracelet, house arrest, for one year. Jack indicated that he double checked with the stockade and the registration offense won't act as a bar to Epstein doing his time at the stockade, so they intend to register concurrent with the plea of guilty. Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing. After this is resolved I would love to buy you a cup at Starbucks and have a conversation.

We called Jay and told him that we (you and our office) had decided what would work best and that you would contact Jack to finalize the state agreement. I am trying to finish the federal agreement. In addition to the sentence imposed, I want to put in a provision that he will actually be in jail at least a certain number of days to make sure he doesn't try to "convince" someone with the Florida prison authorities to let him out early. So, do you know how much "gain time" would Epstein earn? And do you call it "gain time" or "good time" or something else? Thank you.

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. Lourie 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. EFTA00215164
