Summary
This article details the friction between the Palm Beach Police Department and the State Attorney's Office during the initial investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in 2006. It outlines the police department's desire for harsher charges against Epstein, Sarah Kellen, and associate 'Robson,' contrasting this with the prosecutors' pursuit of a plea deal and the eventual lesser grand jury indictment for solicitation. The document also notes the return of political donations by police and New York politicians, and defense attorney Jack Goldberger's strategy of attacking the credibility of the victims.
