Before Visoski re-takes the stand (scheduled for 9:30), Judge Nathan brings up again the unidentified juror who'd have to travel between Christmas and New Years.
Maxwell's lawyer Pagliuca: We'd like to know which juror it is, or at least if they are an alternate.

Judge Nathan: I think I have to excuse the juror, if they can't cancel or move the trip. I'll step down.
Clerk Ms. Williams: All rise!

Judge Nathan returns and says: I asked but it seems there is no way to change or move the trip. So I have excused Juror Number 58. The other jurors are ready. Please bring the witness into the box.
Larry Visoski, in the plexiglass witness box, says, "I'm OK."

Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey: May the witness remove his mask?
Judge Nathan: Yes.
AUSA Comey: Good more, Mister Visoski. What assistants did Mr. Epstein have other than Ms. Maxwell?
Visoski: There were many.

AUSA Comey: Did Ms. Maxwell have assistants?
Visoski: She did.
AUSA Comey: Can you name some assistants?
Visoski: There was a Kimberly and, of course, Sarah Kellen.
AUSA Comey: Is that Ms. Kellen?
[Exhibit is a woman in a bright green dress]
Visoski: Yes.

AUSA Comey: Shat's this?
Visoski: The entrance to Mr. Epstein's Zorro Ranch... There is a triple-wide trailer with a faux Western facade. We had a runway and a hangar for our aircraft.
AUSA Comey: How many acres was Mr Epstein's ranch?
Visoski: Ten thousand acres.

AUSA Comey: Did you ever go into the main residence.
Visoski: Yes. To pick up luggage, and install electronics. Mr. Epstein was a real audiophile. He also had a home theater with a drop-down screen. He had a little family room off to the side.

AUSA Comey: Turning now to Mr. Epstein's island, what was it called?
Visoski: Little St. James. It was a regular destination. I also flew the helicopter, from St. Thomas to Little St. James. Also, more electronics installation.

AUSA Comey: How else could you get there?
Visoski: Boat.
AUSA Comey: OK, where did you meet Ms. Maxwell?
Visoski: She had a three bedroom apartment, I installed electronics there too. Then she bought her own townhouse.
AUSA: Why did you go there?
Visoski: Luggage.

AUSA Comey: Did Ms. Maxwell ever fly the helicopter?
Visoski: Many times.
AUSA Comey: And what are these photos?
Visoski: That's Mr. Epstein in front of his plane.
[The plane is black and Epstein is standing in front of it in a yellow windbreaker, with a smile.]

AUSA Comey: For Mr. Epstein, did you ever fly to Traverse City, Michigan?
Visoski: Yes. Must have been summer or Fall, cherry season.
AUSA Comey: Where did you pick up his luggage?
Visoski: The Interlochen School of Music [Center for the Arts]

AUSA Maurene Comey: I offer into evidence this stipulation, that the dates of birth of these individuals are correct. We are submitting these under seal. Let the jurors pick up the binders under their chairs, to see the sealed exhibits. But don't open it.

Judge Nathan: And don't put them on the screen. Paper only. [Pause] I need glasses.
AUSA Comey: Government Exhibit 12... Mr. Visoski, is this the name of the female singer you remember being a passenger on Mr. Epstein's plane?
Visoski: Yes.

AUSA Comey: We'll call her Jane. How did you meet her?
Visoski: Mr. Epstein brought her to the cockpit. She had piercing powder blue eyes.
AUSA Comey: Do you remember Virginia Roberts?
Visoski: Yes. A shorter woman with dirty blonde hair.

AUSA Comey: Nothing further.
Judge Nathan: You may cross examine.
Maxwell's lawyer Christian R. Everdell: You started working for Mr. Epstein with Dave Rogers, correct?
Visoski: Yes.
Everdell: And he let you use the restroom?
Visoski: Yes. Like I need to now.

Judge Nathan: OK, looks like it's time for our mid-morning break.
Everdell: One last question before we break - did you walk through the cabin?
Visoski: Yes, in the Gulf Stream.
Everdell: Take a break.
Clerk: All rise!
Thread will continue.

During the break, did a quick 4 minute podcast. Now they're back.
Judge Nathan: Mr. Everdell, how much longer? 20 minutes?
Everdell: An hour.
Here's the pod, then continues cross examination beneath it anchor.fm/innercity-pres…

Judge Nathan: We'll just take a five minute break now.
Clerk: All rise!
