If there's a story where we can't discount conspiracy theories off the bat, it's this one. Julie K Brown was basically regarded as a conspiracy theorist and was offered barely zero help when she started on her series. Epstein had his hands in a lot of powerful people's cookie jars and that abortion of justice served up by Acosta and the Miami PD wasn't simple human error or incompetence...
So, his entire case will be closed just like that? Not sure how the legal side of things work for this...
The criminal case into him is likely closed as he's dead. But the civil cases against his estate will continue on. Potential criminal proceedings against some of his accomplices could still happen too. There's still a lot of documents to be unrevealed early next month.
So still some game left to be played. But it is a big blow as he would've been a key witness and now we're robbed of a public trial with this vermin having to sit there and face his victims, this time for real.
