Right, right.
They just wanted this case to go away.
The prosecutors in Miami and Palm Beach, it was the Southern District of Florida.
And they just realized how...
Epstein hired this team of lawyers, Dershowitz being one of them.
Ken Starr was on the team.
Roy Black was on the team.
I mean, it was a dream team of the most powerful lawyers you could hire.
And he hired private investigators, too, by the way, to follow these victims and to get dirt on their families.
He pulled out all the stops.
And part of that was negotiating a deal.
There was so much going on with the victims.
They were trying to portray them as prostitutes, for one thing, even though they were, you know, 13, 14 years old.
And I just think the prosecutors were so dazzled by these lawyers and they just realized this was going to be a tough case.
And they just basically rolled over.
His lawyers actually dictated the terms of this deal that was made.
They dictated every aspect of that deal to the prosecutors.
You know, at the time, they were putting men away
for 15, 20 years for just having child porn on their computers.
And so it's crazy that they made a deal like this.
