Deborah Dale Pucillo was the Palm Beach Circuit Court Judge who presided over Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 state plea conference and sentencing. She appears exclusively in court documents and media coverage related to Epstein's guilty plea to solicitation charges.
Judge Pucillo appears in court transcripts, legal filings, and news articles covering Epstein's June 30, 2008 plea conference. Her mentions are limited to her judicial role, particularly her questioning of prosecutors about the number of victims and her order prohibiting Epstein from having any contact, direct or indirect, with his victims. The documents show her exchanges with assistant state prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek about whether all victims were informed of the plea deal, as required by law. Her observation that the federal non-prosecution agreement was "a significant inducement" for Epstein to accept the state's deal is frequently cited in media coverage.
