From The Hill: Appeals court to review legality of Epstein plea deal

 

A federal appeals court on Friday agreed to reconsider the lawfulness of a secretive plea deal that prosecutors struck more than a decade ago with the now-deceased registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

 

The ruling vacates a decision by a three-judge panel earlier this year that found that federal prosecutors had not violated the law by reaching a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein without his victimsโ€™ knowledge.

 

Instead, the announcement Friday means the full bench of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals will take a fresh look at the plea deal and issue a new decision.
