MR. KUVIN: Just so we're clear with 
3 
respect to the deposition, I understand that 
4 
Mr. Epstein has three attorneys here today but 
5 
only one of them, pursuant to the Rules, is 
6 
going to be permitted to object to questions. 
7 
So I just wanted a designation as to which 
8 
attorney is going to be objecting to questions. 
9 
MR. PIKE: I will be objecting and 
10 
Mr. Weinberg will probably be asking questions. 
11 
I don't — 
1 2 
MR. KUVIN: I have no problem -
13 
MR. PIKE: Do you have any objection with 
14 
that? 
15 
MR. KUVIN: I have absolutely no problem 
16 
if you want to switch it up as to who is 
17 
objecting and who is asking questions. That's 
18 
not a problem. I just don't want to get three 
19 
set of objections. 
20 
MR. PIKE: twill be the main on the 
21 
objections and Mr. Weinberg will be taking, 
22 
asking the questions.

MR. GOLDBERGER: Do we have to tag each

other?

DIRECT EXAMINATION 
11 
MR. KUVIN: All right. Just as a 
12 
stipulation on the record so that we have it 
3 
all clear, what we have discussed prior to 
14 
starting the deposition is, is that since we're 
15 
discussing girls which were under the age of 
16 
18, minors at the time of the incidents 
17 
involved in this case, we're going to be using 
18 
their names as previously agreed to in all the 
19 
other depositions in the case pursuant to court 
20 
order. 
21 
The names will be used in the 
22 
deposition, but they will not be used in 
23 
the official transcript. There will be a 
24 
key at the end of the transcript which 
25 
will be sealed and confidential onl for

the eyes only of the attorneys involved in 
2 
this litigation. 
3 
Therefore, Detective Recarey should 
4 
feel free to discuss names with the 
5 
understanding that those names shall not 
6 
be made public outside the lawsuits that 
7 
are currently pending in both state and 
B 
federal court. But that way hopefully it 
9 
will avoid confusion and I just want to 
10 
make sure we get agreement from all 
11 
counsel sitting around the table that that 
12 
is the understanding. And if there is any 
13 
clarification on that issue, please let us

know.

of Palm Beach CAD system. 
Q. And just for those that may not know, what 
is the CAD system? 
A. The CAD system is basically if someone is, is 
we had a 911 hangup or an slant) call or any kind of

when the officer responds and they encounter someone at 
the home, whatever the reason, whether it be a false

A. Correct.

Mr. Epstein.

What I would like to mark is what

' figure out where. Hang on a second.

BY MR. KUVIN: 
10 
Q. This is a e-mail from Nickie Altornaro. 
11 
Who was that? 
12 
A. She was the detective bureau secretary. 
13 
. MR. KUVIN: Okay. And it's indicated it 
14 
looks like October 17, 2005. Let me just show

it quickly to opposing counsel. It was in the

21 
while he looks at it. And I want to give you what 
22 
we have marked as Exhibit 3. This might help a 
23 
little bit. Can you describe for us generally what 
24

incident report which was inputted by Nickie Altomaro. 
2 
Q. Okay. Can you describe for us the process 
3 
by which the information is generally taken down at 
4 
the department back in 2005, and how it makes it 
5 
into the incident report? 
6 
A. Nickie Altomaro was the detective bureau 
7 
secretary. As we update the incident report, you type 
8 
up your report. And at this time we were using a DOS 
9 
system. 
10 
Q. Okay. DOS as opposed to Windows based? 
11 
A. Yes. 
12 
Q. Gotcha. 
13 
A. And we would type up the report, forward it to 
14 
her either in Word Document or WordPerfect. She would 
15 
convert the document into a DOS format and input it into 
16 
the system. 
17 
Q. All right. If we turn to -- it looks like 
18 
these are in, somewhat in date order. If we turn to 
19 
3/21/05 which is on the eighth page. Did you get to 
20 
the date of 3/21/05? 
21 
A. Yes.

A. Correa 
4 
Q. Before it goes into the main bin? 
5. 
A. Correct. 
6 
Q. Crotcha. Okay. 
7 
A. Once that area is, we're confirmed that it is 
8 
empty, they go onto the property, remove the trash and 
9 
place it into the well. We then follow it to an 
10 
unspecified location where we actually remove the 
11 
contents from the well. 
12 
Q. All right. Let's walk through now, 
13 
continue turning to the date of 4/1/05 through 
14 
4/3/05. You should be an additional three pages 
15 
down. 
16 
A. 4/1.

Detective Lee initiated trash pulls from 358 
El Brillo. 
BY MR. KUVIN: 
Q. Can you describe to us what a trash pull 
is? What do you do? 
A. Well, you inform the supervisor of sanitation 
that you're interested in pulling your target's trash, 
you fund the location, who in turn informs the driver 
that you're going to be pulling the trash. 
Q. The driver of the trash truck? 
A. The driver the trash truck. 
Q. Ootcha. 
A. Once that's done, we coordinate with the trash 
buck driver to ensure that the well is empty prior to 
him going to your target location. He goes -- we follow

purpose of conducting surveillance at 358 El Brillo. 
Q. Okay. Now, this surveillance, was this 
kept by the department? 
A. Correct 
Q. Still held by the department? 
A. Not 100 percent certain on that. It might 
have gone over to the FBI. 
Q. Okay. We'll talk about that when we get 
to that point. But nonetheless before the FBI came 
in, all of this was kept by the department? 
A. Correct. 
Q. By your department Okay. All right If 
we look at the bottom of the page, what's the date 
that the trash pull was actually done?
