Dexter and Marie — I know you have not solicited any input from the Epstein lawyers, and that Epstein as an intervenor has only the potential for future participation in the ongoing CVRA that remains at a liability not remedy phase, but in reviewing the two principal court orders (dkt 99, dkt 189) and in particular footnote 6 of the 6-19-13 court opinion (dkt 189) that there are two important points that help the Government's position (and therefore help Epstein's): first, that the USAO was always in good faith, guided by the Attorney General Guidelines for Victim and Witness Assistance that were revised in May of 2012 and which still require the initiation of a federal prosecution as a pre- condition to the application of victim rights, see section IIIA ("the CVRA establishes court-enforceable rights for those who are directly and proximately harmed by a charged offense")(emphasis added), section IIIC1 which defines a crime victim for CVRA rights as a person "directly and proximately harmed as a result of the commission of a federal offense...if the offense is charged in federal district court...".
