Dershowitz DEFENDS former client Jeffrey Epstein and says he wishes the convicted pedophile had got a lighter sentence in addition to non-prosecution promise
Alan Dershowitz said that he still believes Jeffrey Epstein is innocent and never saw the convicted pedophile commit any crime with an underage female
'I would try to get a better deal,' said Dershowitz of the 13-month sentence which was served out at a barracks and allowed Epstein to leave for work
Dershowitz said in the interview that he never saw Epstein commit any crime with a minor female
The lawyer claimed Epstein's wealth worked against him the case, saying: 'I think a lot of people without the power and wealth might've gotten a better deal'
He also said that the Epstein accuser who claims she also had sexual relations with him is a liar, and said he could prove this, but did not reveal how
That woman, Virginia Roberts, is currently suing Dershowitz for defamation
Just days after his former client was convicted on charges of sex trafficking minor females, attorney Alan Dershowitz is defending the convicted pedophile.
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Dershowitz said that he had no reason to believe Epstein was guilty and then lamented the sweetheart deal his client got a decade ago, despite allegations he had molested 40 minor females.
'I would try to get a better deal,' said Dershowitz of the 13-month sentence which was served out at a barracks and allowed Epstein to leave for work six days a week.
'The job of a criminal defense attorney is to try to get the best possible deal.'

He’s a nut too! Considering he spends all day on Twitter proclaiming he’s never been on the Lolita Express.
Nah, typical lawyer ethics...
As long as you personally didnt see it, or your client admitted they did it, you assume they are innocent... force the government to prove their case.
Dershowitz did his job, the fact the Feds agreed to the light deal they did was either one of two things... they didnt trust their case.. or they didnt want the case to go to trial to protect others...
Given that Epsteins behavior was an open secret for decades, its almost certainly the latter...
Terribly sad; so terribly sad
When Mr. Cothran shot Mr. Stonegal - or was it the other way around? Terribly sad.
(Max, here is Colin Fox in that movie - not it’s not a $100 million dollar budget so....lol)

Of course, and that is exactly what the liberal media said about Hillary Clinton's work on behalf of the alleged perpetrator of a violent rape against a 12 year old girl. Clinton may have stepped over the line in her advocacy, using tactics and attacking the victim in ways that are now considered inappropriate. But no one in the liberal media said that disqualified her from office, as they are now saying about Labor Secretary Acosta, or that it indicated she was guilty of something.
Alan Dershowitz is a very skilled lawyer, and it would really be surprising to hear that he was personally involved in any inappropriate behavior of the sort alleged of Mr. Epstein.
Or the news reports that Epstein was a CIA asset are true.
The new indictments make no reference to “Pedo Island.”
As to Epstein's plane, I don't recall seeing any references to that, either - but I will go back and look.
Allen Dershowitzs name must be on the Pedophile Islands visitor log. He too is a registered Democrat. Re the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings; Of course we all know that only conservatives are rapists and pedophiles and must never believe any female who accuses a democrat of same. /s
Dershowitz possesses that one requisite quality ... he cares absolutely nothing about the truth. He made that very clear at the O.J. Simpson trial.
“Just days after his former client was convicted on charges of sex trafficking minor females, attorney Alan Dershowitz is defending the convicted pedophile.” He’s a democRAT! Apparently his seeming empathy for Trump recently was merely for the camera time he was getting on FNC. They always revert to type. Dersh is no exception.
This is entirely what is wrong/evil about the U.S. justice system/U.S. legal profession today.
While I agree that the accused must absolutely get the full extent of legal argument and representation; nowadays there is NO concern for justice, just whatever DEAL can be made.
I didn't *see* it so it never happened.
What a disgusting excuse for defending a pedophile.
Comments at the link are interesting.
I guess even pedos and their scumbag lawyers are too much even for most liberals, although a few tried to drag Trump and *right wingers* into it.
What a strange thing to say, as if whether or not he actually was on hand to see Epstein sexually abusing underage girls is the question, here.
Sounds to me as if he’s speaking more to his own benefit than defending Epstein.
“I never saw it?” That’s not about his client, that’s about Dershowitz.
The indictment does not mention Epstein's private island.
The indictment does mention Epstein's plane, but there is no allegation that any unlawful actions took place on the plane.
What exactly was Dershowitz doing on the island? Nothing but sipping pina colatas under palms trees by himself?
The Professor wants to be on the legal team, not on the witness stand.
Obviously Epstein has film of Dershowitz also...
No respect for Derek suits
