I'm going to be sick.

Intense moment in court today, as Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers argued their client's alleged sexual abuse of dozens of underage girls didn't make him a rapist, and shouldn't count as sex trafficking.

But "BUYING" is the key word in your reply. I bet they will still try to pay people off since it works.

Everyone already knows he is guilty. He was proven guilty back in the day and let off with a slap on the wrist. I believe we can skip the trial and move on with sentencing... proper sentencing this time. 200 years in the hole. You want an hour of light a day? Give us information on the Rump.

The girls were under the age of consent, and Epstein was an adult who knew it.

Lock him up!

I find Epstein to be lower than gutter slime, but it is the job of his attorney to try what he can to defend his client and hope he can make his case or part of it work.
