From: Paul Cassell To: " ,.1.1.11 > H (USAFLS)" , Brad Edwards Subject: RE: Avoiding an Unnecessary Fight - where do things stand? Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:40:29 +0000 Importance: Normal Hi and M, Brad and I continue to want to hear back from the U.S. Attorney soon about our request — made in person to the U.S. Attorney 11 weeks ago, echoing a request conveyed through you back in September (nearly five months ago) — that the Office simply stand on the sidelines and not oppose our efforts to have Epstein's non-prosecution agreement set aside. As you know, we have been diligently trying to avoid an unnecessary fight with your Office. We have only asked that you not affirmatively oppose our efforts to seek justice for the victims in the case. In other words, we are not asking you to lift a finger —we are merely asking you not to get in our way. We understood we were going to hear back from shortly after our December meeting with the U.S. Attorney ... then things stretched into January ... then February ... then last week ... then this week. We are willing to wait a reasonable amount of time to try and work something out with you. But where do things stand? We are having a bit of difficulty understanding why a simple request that you not actively take steps to undermine efforts of sexual abuse victims to obtain justice is taking so long to approve. Hoping that you can give us some further information soon. Paul Cassell, Co-Counsel for lane Doe #1 and lane Doe #2 Paul G. Cassell Ronald N. Boyce Presidential Professor of Criminal Law S.J.
