Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor was previously rebuked for handling of a child sex case
Both Villafaña and Acosta have been in trouble before for hiding incriminating evidence against someone they were prosecuting. So, when do they go to jail? The law ain’t hackeysack, it’s not a game. But these people treated it like it was. I wonder, what EXACTLY did they get out of it? Because I’m assuming they wouldn’t pull these hide-and-seek games for nothing. There was something in it for themselves.
And they both need disbarred Immediately.
Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor was previously rebuked for handling of a child sex case
Nine months before cutting a covert plea deal with sex trafficking suspect Jeffrey Epstein, Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta was notified that the lead prosecutor in Epstein’s case had concealed information in another underage sex crimes case, the Miami Herald has learned.
The prosecutor, A. Marie Villafaña, was harshly rebuked by a federal judge in January 2007 for what he called her “intentional and/or serious lapse in judgment’’ when she failed to explicitly inform him that the defendant, a Texas man who traveled to Florida to have sex with a 14-year-old girl, had a prior history of predatory behavior with minors, court records show.
Acosta, her boss at the time, not only knew about Villafaña’s breach, but records show that he subsequently defended it. Acosta assigned another prosecutor in his office to write a treatise for the judge in an unsuccessful attempt to persuade him to soften the stinging language in his order.

Later that year, Acosta and Villafaña put together a plea bargain for Epstein, a multimillionaire money manager accused of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls at his mansion in Palm Beach. The deal, a federal judge ruled last month, was intentionally kept from his victims by prosecutors, working in concert with defense lawyers, in violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.

Bradley Edwards, who represents several of Epstein’s victims, defended Villafaña, saying he believed that she was directed to settle the case and not inform Epstein’s victims about the deal.
“In my conversations with her, I came to believe that she was in a difficult position. She never came out and said this, but I suspected that someone above her directed her to do what she did,’’ Edwards said.

Another example of America's two justice system
As we know Epstein was only sentenced to 18 months, only served 13 months and he got to leave prison every day to go to work.
Both of them were guilty of statutory rape, but only one had to pay the price for it. Epstein multiple times, McDaniel one time.
Here's the goose and gander thing again.
For those who haven't read about the sordid case against Epstein here it is.
One of Epstein's victims.
Trump, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Princ Andrew and many others were involved with Jeffrey Epstein and went to his many parties and flew on his jet to his private island. Bill would ditch his security detail and then he would fly away over 26 times.
The rest of the article Amanda posted is worth reading.

The deal took place in 2008? Thought it was more recent.
