"A crime victim has the following rights:
(2) The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding, or any parole proceeding, involving the crime or of any release or escape of the accused.
(4) The right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding.
(9) The right to be informed in a timely manner of any plea bargain or deferred prosecution agreement."
The crime victims were not given those rights. This agreement was clearly illegal.
Also, the defendant isn't being punished. The defendant is dead.
Who was the one who wrote that agreement that Epstein signed? That's the person you have beef with. And this has gone off topic. I argue that if the govt made an agreement in their plea agreement then they have to honor it. I don't give a fuck about legality of the agreement. If they make the agreement, both parties sign it, and the judge approved it then honor it. There is nothing you can say that will change my mind.
