Notable Quotes 3
There is no condition or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as required and the safety of the community.
Any danger that Mr. Epstein may have once posed to the community has long since abated.
We need him released, Judge. This is an enormously challenging case for his defense counsel. The government is hugely resourced. They've got over a million pages of discovery.
