Jeffrey Epstein, through his attorneys, filed a motion seeking a separate trial or bifurcation of Jane Doe's claims for compensatory and punitive damages. The motion argues that trying these claims together would cause undue prejudice to Epstein. The document discusses the legal basis for bifurcation under Rule 42(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and references various legal precedents and statutes. It also addresses the potential impact of evidence related to other plaintiffs and Epstein's financial condition on the trial's outcome. The motion emphasizes the need to separate the determination of liability for punitive damages from the determination of compensatory damages to ensure a fair trial.
