Ambiguous surname in legal citations within Epstein prosecution documents
"O'Connor" is a merged name label in the files, not one person. The only direct correspondence is a handful of emails from 2014 involving New Jersey attorney Martin B. O'Connor II, of the firm O'Connor, Morss & O'Connor, P.C. Most other appearances are court cases and Supreme Court justices cited in prosecution legal documents, plus news bylines in forwarded press digests.
Eight emails list an O'Connor in the From/To/Cc header. They come from a September 2014 thread with Martin B. O'Connor II, Esq., whose signature gives an Elizabeth, New Jersey mailing address and a Union, NJ office. In the thread, Epstein's side tells him "Jeffrey will give you a call today around noon," and a message from Epstein is addressed to both Martin O'Connor and Peggy Siegal. A separate email from him mentions forwarding a "fully executed Settlement Agreement" to Jamie Dyce, Esq. The files do not say what matter that concerned. Beyond these emails, O'Connor appears mainly in legal documents, where it is a citation: United States v. O'Connor (2d Cir. 2011), O'Connor v. Nevada (D. Nev. 1981), and opinions by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. It also appears as a reporter's byline and in one police quote in news digests.
Key Highlights
- •Martin B. O'Connor II, Esq. (O'Connor, Morss & O'Connor, P.C., New Jersey) appears in direct email correspondence in September 2014. In those emails he arranges phone calls with Epstein and is copied alongside Peggy Siegal.
- •One email from him says he forwarded a "fully executed Settlement Agreement" to Jamie Dyce, Esq. The files do not say what the settlement covered.
- •United States v. O'Connor, 650 F.3d 839 (2d Cir. 2011), appears across many legal documents. They cite it for the point that 18 U.S.C. § 1591 reaches customers or buyers as well as sellers: "upholding convictions under Section 1591 of both the buyer and seller of a child." It also appears in an email summarizing why "1591 DOES Apply to Customers." This case is unrelated to Martin O'Connor.
- •O'Connor v. Nevada, 507 F. Supp. 546 (D. Nev. 1981) is quoted in filings. It stands for the point that courts cannot order a U.S. Attorney to investigate or prosecute, because that would violate separation of powers.
- •Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is cited in documents for her dissent in Gonzales v. Raich (2005) on federalism and for her concurrence in United States v. Doe (1984) on self-incrimination. Another filing cites O'Connor v. Trans Union Corp. on where depositions should be held.
- •Some email hits are bylines in forwarded news digests, for example Newsweek, BuzzFeed News, the AP and the Indianapolis Star. One hit quotes Robinson police Lt. Tracy O'Connor. None of these relate to Epstein.
