ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
OF THE TRIAL COURT’S FEBRUARY 29, 2024 ORDER
AND CANCELING JULY 8, 2024 HEARING
CE
THIS CAUSE, having come before the Court on The Palm Beach Post’s Motion for
Reconsideration of The Trial Court’s February 29, 2024 Order, filed on June 12, 2024, and the
A
Court, having considered the Motion, being advised of the arguments of the parties, and being
N
O
the following:
T
otherwise advised of the premises, the Court Grants the Motion for Reconsideration and adjudicates
Procedural History
In 2019, The Palm Beach Post commenced this action seeking a declaration authorizing
the release of testimony and related evidence presented to the Palm Beach County grand jury in
2006 during the first Jeffrey Epstein (“Epstein”) sex abuse investigation.
FILED: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL, JOSEPH ABRUZZO, CLERK, 07/01/2024 01:52:43 PMPage 2 On December 21, 2021, the trial court entered a Final Judgment dismissing The Palm
Beach Post’s First Amended Complaint on the grounds that the Court lacked the statutory
authority, under Florida Statute 905.27, to order the release of the Epstein grand jury materials.
On May 10, 2023, the Fourth District Court of Appeal remanded the case to the Circuit
PY
Court to conduct an in camera inspection of the Epstein grand jury materials to determine whether
public disclosure would be “furthering justice” as defined by Florida Statute 905.27.
CO
The Court ultimately determined the request did not further justice under the law as it
existed at the time. The Court stated that it must follow the law and cannot create new law. Law
D
making is a process that belongs exclusively to the people of Florida when they speak through
IE
their legislature and the executive branches. This concept is rudimentary and basic civics. The
IF
Courts interpret law - THE COURTS DO NOT MAKE LAW.
RT
It is also important to note, that without an amendment to the statute, Grand Jury
CE
proceedings are generally always kept secret and are closed to the public. This is generally to
protect jurors, witnesses, those accused, and the integrity of the case. Secrecy allows people to
A
serve as jurors and witnesses to testify without fear of outside influence or retaliation. In some
T
cases, it also ensures the protection of an innocent suspect’s reputation. Secrecy also makes it less
O
likely that a defendant will abscond after learning they are being investigated. While those do not
N
apply to Epstein, the law at the time did not carve out an exception.
During this time, among others, the Clerk of Court, Mr. Joseph Abruzzo, a former state
legislator with vast experience in the legislative process, advocated to state legislators to amend
the law. Their efforts were successful. Florida’s Legislature unanimously passed Bill HB 117.Page 3 Once the bill passed both of the legislative houses, the Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis
very quickly signed CS/HB117 amending Florida Statute 905.27 effective July 1, 2024. This
amendment significantly modified the definition of “furthering justice” to expressly include
furthering a public interest when the disclosure is requested pursuant to paragraph 905.27(2)(c).
It cannot be understated that the amendment to the law very clearly allows what previously was
PY
not legally permissible.
CO
The Court’s Order denying the release of the records also gave leave of Court for The Palm
Beach Post to file a motion for reconsideration after July 1, 2024 - under the new statute.
D
On June 12, 2024, The Palm Beach Post moved for reconsideration of the Trial Court’s
IE
order based on the Florida Statute 905.27, as amended on July 1, 2024.
IF
It cannot be disputed that the 2024 amendments to Florida Statute 905.27 were intended to
RT
remove the prior statutory hurdles to disclosure of the Epstein grand jury materials. In fact, the
CE
Court notes the bill was often called the “Epstein Grand Jury Bill” recognizing the prior statutory
construction did not allow release of these records.
A
In the official press release, Gov. DeSantis explained his reasons for signing of CS/HB 117
T
into law. Gov. DeSantis stated, “The public deserves to know who participated in the Jeffery
O
Epstein sex trafficking. Nobody should be protected from facing justice due to their wealth, or
N
status, and those who harm children should be exposed and punished to the fullest extent of the
law.”Page 4 Conclusions of Fact and Law
Florida Statute 905.27(2)(c) now reads as follows:
PY
When a court orders the disclosure of such testimony pursuant to subsection (1) in
response to a request by the media or an interested person, regardless of whether
that purpose is for use in a criminal or civil case, it may be disclosed so long as the
subject of the grand jury inquiry is deceased, the grand jury inquiry related to
criminal or sexual activity between the subject of the grand jury investigation and
a person who was a minor at the time of the alleged criminal or sexual activity, the
testimony was previously disclosed by a court order, and the state attorney is
provided notice of the request. This paragraph does not limit the court's ability to
limit the disclosure of testimony, including, but not limited to, redaction.
CO
With that new legal mechanism in place, the Court makes the Following Findings.
D
The Court finds that the request involves a matter of public interest. The criminal
IE
prosecutions of the most infamous pedophile in American history began in Palm Beach County –
IF
with much controversy. For almost 20 years, the story of how Jeffrey Epstein victimized some of
RT
Palm Beach County’s most vulnerable has been the subject of much anger and has at times
diminished the public’s perception of the criminal justice system.
CE
Adding to the public interest, Epstein is indeed notorious and infamous and is widely
reported to have flaunted his wealth while cavorting with politicians, billionaires, and even British
A
Royalty. It is understandable that given those reports the public has a great curiosity about what
T
was widely reported by news agency as “special treatment” regarding his prosecution. This matter
N
O
is clearly the subject of public interest.
The Court finds that this request is made by the news media, specifically The Palm Beach
Post. The Palm Beach Post is a daily newspaper that was founded in 1916 as a local publication
in West Palm Beach. For decades, the Palm Beach Post was printed and published daily in Palm
Beach County. The Court finds that despite its many changes, The Palm Beach Post has a long and
rich history documenting our local community. Many local residents still rely on The Palm BeachPage 5 Post to obtain information on national, state, and local events. The Palm Beach Post remains a
newspaper of record in our county.
The Court finds Epstein is also widely reported to have been deceased since August 10,
2019, under controversial and “newsworthy” circumstances, while under “supervision” at
PY
Metropolitan Correctional Center in the state of New York. This adds to the public interest.
Having reviewed the testimony, the Court also finds the testimony relates to sexual activity
CO
between Epstein and child victims of sex trafficking. Again, it is widely accepted that Epstein is
a notorious and serial pedophile. The testimony taken by the Grand Jury concerns activity ranging
D
from grossly unacceptable to rape – all of the conduct at issue is sexually deviant, disgusting, and
IE
criminal.
IF
The details in the record will be outrageous to decent people. It is also important to note
RT
that some of the testimony in the records of Epstein’s pedophilia involved other people, but there
CE
is nothing in this record that was outside the knowledge of law enforcement or Prosecutors
– there is no new information.
A
Tragically, the record reveals that Epstein used children to find more victims. The record
T
also shows that some of the children knew the type of people they could be exposed to and the
N
O
infamous nature of such “notable” people.
The Court also notes the testimony was previously disclosed to law enforcement agencies.
Furthermore, the State Attorney was properly noticed and long ago withdrew any objections to
release the records and early on even did his best to disclose the information in his office’s
possession without delay via an internet portal. As a result, he was eventually dropped as a named
party in this action after much inconvenience and expense.Page 6 IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED,
The Motion for Reconsideration is GRANTED.
The hearing scheduled for July 8, 2024 is moot and is canceled.
CO
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDED,
PY
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDED,
The Palm Beach Post’s petition to release the Grand Jury proceedings regarding Jeffery
IE
D
Epstein under Florida Statute 905.27 as amended July 1, 2024 is also GRANTED.
IF
With only a few redactions made by the Court to protect the identity of the minors,
RT
The Court hereby authorizes the Clerk of Court to release the redacted Clerks Notes and transcripts
of the testimony in their entirety (attached as Exhibit “A”). The Court is not aware of anything
CE
more to review and disclose.
