The secret non-prosecution agreement that shielded alleged accomplices of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein will remain intact, a Florida judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Mara also said that Epstein’s victims were not owed any money following the government’s violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
Various accusers filed suit in 2008 after learning that feds cut a sweetheart plea deal with Epstein but failed to notify victims until after the fact.
While Mara previously ruled that omission violated the law, he said in his Monday order that any further litigation was “moot,” given Epstein’s Aug. 10 suicide.
However, the judge instructed the government to do three things: Designate a representative to meet with the plaintiffs to discuss his decision; participate in a public court proceeding for accusers to speak publicly about their abuse; and ensure that future federal prosecutors in Florida undergo additional training on the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.

More dead pedophiles will be a fantastic start

But it will stand, because almost all of us on ATS have said from day 1 this case was going nowhere except maybe with someone dead... And that's it.
It sucks, but I don't really see what can be done about it.

Can it be any more obvious how corrupt the whole system is these days?
Are you just going to bend over and take it or are you going to follow what it says in the constitution about dismantling a broken government?

Yeah right, all these new terrorism laws being passed are all about curbing dissent, go up against the goverment and you'll find yourself in gitmo.
The path you speak of doesn't work if people aren't doing the steps before it like voting or speaking. This is probably the most shameful uses of the following phrase I've personally used... But it is what it is.
