This August 14, 2006, article from the Palm Beach Post details the conflict surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. It highlights the criticism Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter leveled against State Attorney Barry Krischer for his lenient handling of the case, and the subsequent personal attacks on Reiter's character by Epstein's high-powered legal team. The article contrasts the police's push for serious charges with the eventual plea deal, which dropped a federal investigation and allowed Epstein to avoid significant prison time.
