Background

Mr. Schoeman is a lawyer at Kramer Levin and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney. He represented Raymond Craig Brubaker in the trial of David Parse, working alongside his partner Barry Berke at Kramer Levin. Schoeman had a personal friendship with Theresa Trzaskoma, the lawyer representing David Parse in the same trial.

Schoeman was deposed and testified extensively regarding his investigation into Juror No. 1, identified as Catherine Conrad, during the David Parse trial. The central issue in his testimony concerned whether Juror No. 1 was connected to a disbarred or suspended attorney who shared the same name. Schoeman discussed this concern with Ms. Trzaskoma, who assured him it was not the same person based on the voir dire process.

Schoeman's depositions and testimony appear in documents filed in connection with case 1:20-cv-03038-PAE, which are part of court-unsealed and oversight document collections. Many of the additional documents in which he is referenced appear to be financial or investment-related records (EFTA documents) whose specific connection to Schoeman is not established in the available evidence.

Epstein Connection

Mr. Schoeman's direct connection to Jeffrey Epstein is not established in the provided evidence. His name appears across documents housed in Epstein-related case file collections (court-unsealed, house-oversight, DOJ, and EFTA datasets), but the substantive documents referencing him concern his role as a witness and attorney in the David Parse trial, specifically regarding the investigation into Juror No. 1 (Catherine Conrad). The nature of why these documents appear within the Epstein case file collections is not explained by the available evidence.
