In a landmark decision, a U.S. appeals court on Thursday rejected the 12-year quest of a Jeffrey Epstein survivor to hold the government accountable for giving the infamous child predator a clandestine deal that essentially allowed him to get out of jail after a minimal sentence, and, according to recent lawsuits, continue to abuse girls and women.
The 7-4 decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals was split mostly along gender lines, with four female judges issuing a scathing rebuke of the majority’s interpretation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA). The decision, unless it is overturned on further appeal, could allow wealthy defendants to continue to arrange favorable plea deals from the government without any oversight or accountability, said an attorney who originally filed the challenge.
“The ruling is very disturbing. It sets up two systems of justice, one for wealthy defendants who can negotiate deals before charges are filed — and one for most criminal defendants, who don’t have the wealth and power to arrange those kinds of deals,’’ said the attorney, Paul Cassell.
...
In her dissenting opinion, Senior Circuit Judge Frank Hull skewered the majority’s “sense of sorrow,’’ over not being able to give Epstein’s victims justice. Noting that the decision would have far-reaching impact in other cases involving wealthy defendants, she said the ruling “leaves federal prosecutors free to engage in the secret plea deals and deception’’ before criminal charges are ever made public, resulting in “the travesty” that happened in the Epstein case.
She also noted that “the Department of Justice’s failure to discipline its own prosecutors heightens the importance of the CVRA’s private right of action.’’
DOJ’s investigation found that prosecutors exercised “poor judgment,’’ but stopped short of recommending sanctions against prosecutors, including Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney in Miami who approved the secret deal.
Acosta declined to comment on the ruling.

Comment →Name of officer who shot Daunte Wright will be released "shortly," city manager says
From CNN's Maureen Chowdhury
Comment →Reporters pressed Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott and City Manager Curt Boganey about why the name of the officer who shot Daunte Wright has not been released.
Mayor Elliott said it was "privileged" information at the moment since the shooting is under investigation. He did express willingness to share additional information about the female officer in question.
Earlier in the news conference, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said Wright was fatally shot during a traffic stop after a police officer shouted "Taser!" but fired a handgun instead of the non-lethal stun gun.
Saudi authorities said Monday only people immunised against Covid-19 will be allowed to perform the year-round umrah pilgrimage from the start of Ramadan, the holy fasting month for Muslims.
The hajj and umrah ministry said in a statement that three categories of people would be considered "immunised" -- those who have received two doses of the vaccine, those administered a single dose at least 14 days prior, and people who have recovered from the infection.

I saw this exact situation play out a few years ago–in a Buffalo Wild Wings, in fact. Crowded table, someone took someone else’s keys w/ a small pepper spray can, hilarity (accidentally) ensued. Not sure what accounts for the restaurant being cleared in this case–when my friends did it, we noticed a smell but it wasn’t a big deal. As I recall, we shuffled around to avoid the ‘epicenter’ but didn’t even leave the table.
The experience did not convince me of the wisdom of widespread concealed carry in sports bars.Report
My mother once pepper sprayed herself by proxy getting gas. Can was on the keys, she sprayed her hands on accident, washed them and rubbed her eye later.
I had to drive her home, because you really have to work to get all that stuff off your hands. It takes a LOT of washing to get that stuff off.
Of course, in high school I once saw someone fiddling with a pepper spray or mace can and spraying it into the air — right before a teacher opened the door and walked through the cloud.
Unpleasantness ensued.
People are idiots. Teenagers doubly so.Report
My wife came home from working at the library reeking of pepper spray once. Seems some guy was exposing himself to women & masturbating in front of them in the stacks. Security was called and the guy ran, got tackled and pepper sprayed by the reference desk, where my wife was working.
Did a lot of laundry & cleaning that night…Report
