Never said Starr was a boy scout, he was a pretty shady character. IMO, to paraphrase Shakespeare, “a good start is to kill all the attorneys”. As a nation we have too many attorneys and too many of them become politicians.
Starr, as Epstein’s attorney, did what a defense attorney is supposed to do and that is get the best deal for his client, regardless of Starr’s or Epstein’s character or reputation.
