Notable Quotes 2
As an initial matter, we take seriously our disclosure obligations, including those arising under Rule 16, Brady and its progeny, and Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972) and its progeny, and we intend to comply fully with those obligations.
However, your unilateral assertion that particular items constitute "Brady materials" does not itself render those materials subject to disclosure, let alone immediate disclosure some nine months before trial.
Red Flags 2
- Disagreement between the prosecution and defense regarding what constitutes Brady material and the timing of its disclosure.
- Defense's request for information about the Non-Prosecution Agreement signed by Epstein in 2007.
