This document is a LexisNexis printout of a Sun-Sentinel article from June 15, 2009, detailing a legal battle to unseal Jeffrey Epstein's plea deal with federal prosecutors. Palm Beach Circuit Judge Jeff Colbath acknowledged procedural failures in sealing the deal and set a hearing for June 25, while attorneys for Epstein's victims, Bill Berger and Brad Edwards, criticized the "sweetheart agreement" and special treatment Epstein received. The article notes Epstein was serving an 18-month sentence with work release privileges and that local police had forwarded information to the FBI due to dissatisfaction with the State Attorney's handling of the case.
