Former US Attorney Andy McCarthy was on Rush today, and made the argument that Epstein likely might get bail, if he has a reasonable claim of double jeopardy - which could go all the way to the Supreme Court, before any prosecution could even begin.
If there are substantially new and different crimes to prosecute him for though, that would be a different story. The fact that the Public Corruption Unit of the SDNY is handling the case, might indicate something different.
I say give him bail and make his house like a prison. Best chance to keep him alive.
Double jeopardy means you can’t be tried for the same bank robbery twice.
It does not mean that you can rob a bank and get caught and convicted then go rob another bank when you get out of jail and cry double jeopardy
Epstein is going to disappear if he gets bail. His exit strategy is almost certainly pre planned and well rehearsed.
Isn't there a LOT MORE GIRLS COMING FORWARD??? How in HELL could that be DOUBLE JEOPARDY?? What am I missing?
There is something so DEEP and DISTURBING about Epstein and the Elites......
I don’t see how this could be double jeopardy. At first I did but there are new crimes and the plea deal he made was fraudulent. So there was no deal made.
He has no claim of double jeopardy. The supreme court ruled on that issue less than a month ago. (A ruling I generally disagree with BTW). If he gets bail there is something seriously wrong. He is a major flight risk, with serious resources to enable him to flee.
