Florida Prosecutors Who Misled Epstein Victims Now Worried About His Accomplices’ Rights
Federal prosecutors in Florida who broke the law by keeping Jeffrey Epstein’s victims in the dark when they cut a sweetheart plea deal with him are now fighting to make sure his alleged accomplices are kept in the loop.
In a court filing on Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida wrote that co-conspirators should be given notice of any decisions that might affect them “so that they have a full and fair opportunity to litigate the claims affecting them.”
They should, the prosecutors wrote, be afforded the “deep-rooted historic tradition that everyone should have his own day in court.”
