While acknowledging the travesty of the 2008 plea deal struck between serial sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein and then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 in an opinion by Judge Kevin Newsom that it couldn’t be overturned.
Epstein victim Courtney Wild sought to invalidate the deceased financier’s plea deal in an attempt to prosecute Epstein’s accomplices who received immunity.
Per the Daily Wire:
“Despite our sympathy for Ms. Wild and others like her, who suffered unspeakable horror at Epstein’s hands, only to be left in the dark — and, so it seems, affirmatively misled — by government lawyers, we find ourselves constrained to deny her petition,” said Newsom in the ruling.
Concerning the legal basis for the decision, Newsom writes in the ruling that the Crime Victims’ Rights Act does not apply until criminal charges have been formally filed.
“Because the government never filed charges or otherwise commenced criminal proceedings against Epstein, the CVRA was never triggered,” said Newsom. “It’s not a result we like, but it’s the result we think the law requires.”
As The Miami Herald reported nearly two years ago, federal prosecutors negotiated a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein’s lawyer in 2007, a deal that tossed a 53-page indictment prosecutors had assembled after identifying 36 underage accusers.
Besides granting immunity to Epstein’s co-conspirators, prosecutors agreed not to inform his accusers about the non-prosecution agreement.

What Bullshit. Immunity for Epstains accomplices? The Gov’t is Corrupt !!!!!The Judges should be put behind bars !!!!!Will True Justice prevail. It’s up to the Citizens to Stand up for what is right and get Rid of the Elites involved once and for all. BEWARE of the Future!!!!!
I have a feeling too many politicians and pay offs were involved with the “legal” system to cover up the filth they are involved in. God saw. They will pay.
This is but a stay of execution of The Ultimate Judgment. The rats can run, but they can’t hide.
I see things your (God’s) way. If they pray for forgiveness (and make restitution) as I do, God WILL forgive.
Forgiveness has a requirement; confession, remorse, and God knows if your confession is sincere.
It was based on the deal the Lawyers struck with Epstein. Sucks, but typical lawyer deal. Epstein was never formally charged, tried and convicted of anything.
“Because the government never filed charges or otherwise commenced criminal proceedings against Epstein, the CVRA was never triggered,”
It is so true the ruling classes and elite corrupt politicians are above the law. There is no equal justice. Epstein, suicide a joke, his good friend Bill Clinton not investigated. Hillary,comey,McCabe, Schiff,Pelosi,Schumer all proven liars and obstructionists will never be brought to justice or be removed from office.
Why do these deep state players and petifiles always get away with all these despicable crimes. God will have the last word, hell is going to be his justice. Too bad we won’t be able to see them burn. Vengeance is his.
Want to understand why this happened? Want to understand the news media and how/ why politicians NEVER get in trouble??

All accomplices need to held accountable and be prosecuted no mater who they are, if not it is a great injustice
Bullshit is right. These rich asswipes always win. This monster should have everything he had liquidated and passed on to the victims as should all his “friends”. They are all in this together. If someone thinks these asswipes are not protected by their rich “friends” in Hollywood, politics and business, you are just plain stupid. The Democrats support the abuse of children and are nothing but predators. These kids did not and still do not stand as chance of living a normal life. MFR’s should be locked up and never see the light of day, but that will not happen on this earth. “BEWARE” is right on. I am ashamed to be an American while this bullshit is allowed by rich people. We have no one to protect our children or children of other nations as these people go where it is allowed. You have no rights, you have no justice and you have no legal system to confront it. Everyone is bought and paid for.
The supreme court should review the prosecutions decision to plea deal and seek prosecution of them on corruption.
Our American Justice System is CORRUPT!
Bingo.
AG Barr knows all about that ‘reason’ for why the Court was compelled to go against the Plaintiff(s) – he was Defense attorney Against the Government during his career.
Seems that the plaintiff(s) have to file charges against the government for not allowing proper procedure to go forth for the protection of the plaintiff(s).
I suspect Newsom is buddy buddy with Billy Boy. The Clintons commit crimes but lure people in to accompany them and use that to protect themselves. If the person refuses? Well Jeepers that guy just got in a deadly car crash.
The good old boy,s at its finest . Corruption Corruption . 2 tier justice system .
Each of us has until our last breath to confess our sins and seek forgiveness. “Judge not lest ye be judged. With what judgement you have judged, so shall you be judged.”
No person escapes God’s judgement for what they have done with His Son and no person escapes judgement for each second of our lives. Disbelieve as you will, but gravity exists and can’t be seen.
I hope you are not quoting that verse with the intent of saying that we are not to judge. IF you can read you will see that it says we are to be VERY careful when we judge since we WILL also be judged by the same standard we use.
When the good people and followers of Jesus remain silent in the face of evil, they TOO will be judged as having “walked in the council of the ungodly” and “standing with sinners”.
Amen! It says we are to judge righteously. Also, does it not say “don’t you know that you shall judge the angels in heaven… HOW MUCH MORE then the things of this earth.”
But actually blaming and punishing people for the crimes they commit is such an old-fashioned, Republican concept.
I totally agree with you. Politcal criminals getting away with crap. Kill Epstein or suicide. They always find a way out and the innocent are left hanging. BS
So who is CONSTRAINING Newsom? Maybe it is the powerful elite who benefited from the agreement. For sure, we know that Newsom is corrupt. And he will face God and judgement soon.
These treasonous hypocrite libs(lying sack of Schiff) don’t know the meaning of the truth! They are at it again and just as mentally deranged as the rest of the Globalists NAZI Muslim Commie Liberal Demoncrats! Deep State, Pelosi, Waters, Schumer, Hollywood, Academia, MSM Fox and the rest of Fake News, Swamp News and you know the rest!! Expose, Boycott, Sue, prosecute and bring to justice all these lying Fake News deep state treasonous Godless NAZI commie liberal demoncrats and RINOs (Mutt Romney, Susan Collins, Lindsey Grahams ,Murkowski, Justice Roberts, Bolton and you know the rest of the traitors) post-haste,Patriots!

So much for the gaggle of #me too feminist, especially those on the left side of that Hollywood Red Carpet along with their Resistance allies who also hate Trump Dem. Seemingly this liberal appointed judge let these low lives walk at the expense of the abused victims and the silence if deafening even from ANTIFA.
