Summary
Editorial from The Palm Beach Post dated November 16, 2007, criticizing the potential plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein. The article discusses Epstein's high-profile legal team (Goldberger, Dershowitz, Starr), the evidence found by police (including phone messages and a high school transcript in his trash), and the concern that his wealth is allowing him to bypass the justice system despite preying on underage girls. It notes that a previous grand jury indictment for solicitation was seen as insufficient given the age of the victims and mentions that the federal investigation had reportedly stalled the state case.
