Summary
This document is a 2006 New York Times article (stamped by House Oversight) detailing the conflict between the Palm Beach Police and State Attorney Barry Krischer regarding the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The police sought arrest warrants based on interviews with victims like Ms. Robson, but the State Attorney delayed, opting for a grand jury after Epstein's legal team (including Alan Dershowitz) presented evidence attacking the accusers' credibility. Police Chief Reiter formally questioned the State Attorney's handling of the case, suggesting he disqualify himself.
