There's a silver lining in getting him for a different crime, in that the victims don't have to testify. Some victims may want their day in court, but I suspect most just want him locked up and not to be exposed to a global media circus. |
| Well this is fun! |
| Quite pathetic that white collar crimes get investigated more vigorously than crimes against persons. |
| For all the talk of liberty and justice, we suck at it and remain top of the class pigs |
And they never will get him for sex crimes. There are no witnesses coming forward with credible accusations that would withstand a legal challenge. Epstein's emails simply don't have the legal weight you wish they did. |
| BBC reports Charles was not informed prior to the arrest. |
I doubt that but whatever. The royal family has been planning for this. Strip him of titles, kick him out, and let the police have at him. |
Makes sense in our society. Money is worshipped and people are disposible. |
I doubt it too, especially due to logistics. |
| SPILL IT ALL ANDREW! |
If only we could find people guilty on the basis of an email message. Stupid legal system. |
| Funny how all the Europeans with ties to Epstein are facing consequences while Americans with closer ties (Trump, commerce secretary Lutnick) continue on with no issues. |
| What is also happening with his ex wife? |
He had already announced his support of any inquiries and investigations that might occur. The UK has an evidentiary problem with charging Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with sex crimes, because his known conduct at this time was not illegal in Britain. They aren’t trying to hide anything, they’re charging what they can, and perhaps in the course of the case, they’ll find more chargeable offenses. |
Agreed. I don't know if we'll ever see an Americans arrested. We suck. |
