Summary
This document is an email dated June 26, 2019, forwarding a Law360 article titled 'Gov't Says Epstein Victims Can't Scrap Nonprosecution Deal.' The article details the federal government's response to a lawsuit by Epstein's victims (Doe v. U.S.), where prosecutors argued that while the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) was violated by Alexander Acosta in 2008, the nonprosecution agreement cannot be undone. The government proposed a meeting and a public hearing for victims to be heard, a remedy the victims' lawyer Brad Edwards criticized as insufficient.
