Hi Jay -- I looked up some 11th Circuit cases on simple assault and found some good language. I also learned that, every moment that one is aboard an enclosed civil airplane, they are in the "special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States," so the assault charge is really a violation of 49 USC 46506, which doesn't change the penalties.

I have drafted up a factual proffer that I would use at the change of plea based upon our brief conversation and the agents' interaction with Ms. at her home. The agents and I would need to speak with Ms. I 'f briefly to confirm that these facts are true. Feel free to make suggestions.

On an "avoid the press" note, I believe that Mr. Epstein's airplane was in Miami on the day of the 'telephone call. If he was in Miami-Dade County at the time, then I can file the charge in the District Court in Miami, which will hopefully cut the press coverage significantly. Do you want to check that out?

I will talk to you later. Thanks.
