According to the docket, we asked for a 24-hour extension because Epstein delayed filing his financial disclosure. Judge Berman denied the request, saying it shouldn’t take us long to read it. What I really understand that to mean is: “I have already made my decision and I don’t care what the Government says because I’ve got this.”
¶
BTW, poor tactic, pushing the private guards knowing (and even acknowledging) Judge Berman’s thoughts about it. It is a way to piss a judge off while you are asking him for what looks in context like fairly extraordinary relief. I wonder if that was client-driven.

I think Berman already has an opinion on this. Epstein’s chances not good.

¶Have you read Reid Weingarten’s bail letter for Epstein?
¶It is very impressive, until page 10, when he actually argues that refusing to allow a rich defendant to hire private guards and live in his mansion implicates equal protection concerns because the decision not to allow defendants to buy their own cages discriminates against them “based largely on socioeconomic status.”
¶Also, in how many other bail applications do defendants offer to “deregister or otherwise ground his private jet”?
